Question:
I went to the doctor today and was told that my stomach problems have flared up. Amylase of 157, Liapase 352. Put me on clear liquid diet for 24 hours. Follow up with full liquid diet for next 24 hours. That is to be followed by a week of soft diet after which I am to remain on a bland diet until further notice. Does anyone know of any recipes for a nutritious liquid diet that has a decent taste to it? Also, a bland diet would be nice as well.
Answer:
I had a similar problem back in May when I had to go on a liquid diet when I had suspected Crohn's Disease. I am still on that liquid diet 4 and a half months later. I have a product called Ensure Plus which in the UK, is available on prescription. There are loads of flavours and it's a milkshake in a 200ml carton style drink. It is completely nutrition balanced so you can completely live on it. This contains milk so it is not suitable if you are vegan, not that I had any options since food is a no-go area for me. There is a variation in a fruit juice style called Enlive but this is what is called a diet supplement, meaning you cannot live on this completely.
