Although most people are trying to lose weight, those with chronic illnesses tend to need to gain weight. Usually the problem is the disease itself, or the medicine causes nausea & GI issues. Some days you can't eat at all, and over time the stomach shrinks so even on "good days" you can't eat much. Slowly but surely the pounds come off.
In my case I am allergic to soy & whey so the weight gaining drinks can't work. They also have lots of sugar which is the #1 no no for the diet. For others they sit very heavy and don't work on a gentle stomach.
Just recently by the grace of God I was pointed toward a wonderful product called Benecalorie. Each one ounce serving cup has 330 calories. You can easily put it in a smoothie and instantly make it 600 calories. Half a days worth of food. It mixes into anything. Mashed potatoes, pudding, any other food really. It's made up of made different fats. No whey, no gluten, no sugar, no soy, nothing that could cause allergy & super versatile.
I had searched for supplemental nutrition for years & I have no idea how I just NOW found it, but I credit God. So I wanted to share this with anyone else who is struggling with an illness or Lyme that needs healthy calories in small servings. It's been a life saver for me.
God bless,
