I know this is an old post but I use the shakes for nutrition and just to feel better and hydrate. I find they’re not sugary sweet like Boost or Ensure and I tolerate them better. I take half doses and I find I just feel better. Less butt burn. Less gas, not running for bathroom every half hour, which I do after eating.. I have been using them off and on for 5 years. Wish it wasnt so pricy but by using half doses it helps. Have you been using it ? Does it help anyone else?
