Diarrhea during liquid diet

[jvand814 2]

Hey guys! I have been reading around for a while but this is my first post. I am wondering if anyone else has been having this issue? I'm suppose to have 5 ensures per day and after each one I have diarrhea. It's been like this for 5 days now. I'm just so annoyed by it and feel like it's probably not great for my body. Does anyone have any tips or anything? Is this just something I have to deal with until my surgery on September 23? Thanks guys!

I have heard this from someone else - Imodium AD was suggested.

@@jvand814 Did they recommend Ensure specifically? I would ask about another type of Protein Shake. You should not have to deal with diarrhea for a month.

I would tell your doctor about this and have him switch you to another brand of shake. I'd also check to see if you're lactose intolerant because I had the same exact symptoms when I drank Nutrisystem shakes (I'm still pre-op) and it was lactose intolerance.
