Hi,
Years ago, I was diagnosed with several digestive problems that keep me from getting all the nutrients from the food I eat.The solution to this was simple: drink Boost/Ensure. Since the nutrients in liquids are absorbed easier.
I've since stopped doing this several years ago because... well, it's freaking expensive. Even the generic stuff is $6-7. Drinking two a day (2-3 recommended by a gastroenterologist and nutritionist), equals about $17 a week, which equals $68/month... more than my electric and phone bill combined.
So, I've decided to start this again, but I am wondering if there are alternative powders I can mix into milk, or a shake, or something that will give me the same nutrients, but for way less a price. The only thing I can think of is Carnation Instant Breakfast stuff, but I don't know if that'd be the same nutrients.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Any help will be apprecited.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
