Need high calorie drink suggestions as struggling to eat solids

[[Bi...]]

I'm already light.

Every time I eat meal my symptoms ramp up terribly. I need suggestions on how to keep my weight on while this phase continues.

I thought after 18 months since CT my hell would be over but it feels as though BW is desperately trying to kill me, still😭😭

Ensure is popular. Or you can make smoothies. I make the following every morning:

1 apple

1 banana

1 c spinach

Handful both raspberries, blueberries 

Coconut milk (filled with nutrients and great for hydration)

Or:

Banana, apple, 100% peanuts peanut butter and soy milk

Smoothies work well at our house.  We just buy a powdered protein mix from a nutrition store, mix it with a banana and a little milk in the blender and it’s good to go. When the nausea gets bad, I also drink ginger tea and graze on apples and Ritz crackers.  There’s something in the apple skin that seems to help. Anyway, it works for me.

I'm sorry to hear that, I recall your previous threads.

Have you tried adding the below to your diet for gut health?

1. Kefir
2. Greek yogurt
3. Blueberries
4. Kimchi

In terms of High Calorie, I would recommend "Boost" Very High Calorie.  530 calories per bottle (8oz)

 

Best luck

These are the only  things I could tolerate when I had severe benzo belly and it really helped me: 

1) potato and leek soup and sometimes If i wanted carbs i would thrown in small pieces of sourdough bread to make it mushy and easy to digest 

2) asparagus soup 

3) boiled chicken drumsticks and rice but mix them together and add hot water to have a very soft porridge like consistency 

4) mango 

5) dates 

6) eggs cooked in olive oil (not boiled) 

7) chicken bone broth

I hope this helps you and don't worry eventually the benzo belly goes away. Mine completely went away and I can now eat whatever I want but I still struggle with other symptoms

Thank you so much everyone.

I shall endeavour to try some of these suggestions 💙
