ensure or boost?

so nothing i am eating is staying in place. call it anxiety, call it whatever but no solid stool for me. after every meal i have to use the bathroom. i am sure that this can't be good for babies sooo i've decided to drink ensure or boost just wanted to know if you thought one was more viable than the other. the flavor will no doubt be chocolate just need to know the brand.

any suggestions?

 

I am pretty sure depending on the type (high protein, low sugar, etc....) they have almost the same ingredients, so either Ensure or Boost is fine.

 

I believe they are both about the same. You can't go wrong with either. That said, I drank the boost. I liked the chocolate and liked it really cold. :good:

 

They are both pretty much the same. I drank whatever was on sale so I alternated.

IF your having diarrhea you should not use boost or ensure. Your should allow your GI tract to settle by not eating for a few hours. This works for vomitting as well. Avoid dairy products and caffeine.Gradually reintroduce food, starting with bland food like toast, broth, apples, bananas, and rice.
If you are loosing alot of fluids you may need Gatorade. Worst case you get dehydrated, needing IV fluids. Watch your urine concentration. The darker the less fluid you have running in you.

 

Ensure and Boost are both good, but even better is getting protein powder and making your own shakes. It's quite easy, and you won't be getting the chemicals that are put in Ensure and Boost. If you make your own shakes, you can put in chocolate protein powder, fruit, ice cream, whatever you want. You'll get nothing but good food in a drinkable form!
