Do you need to do this for all meals or can I use it as an occasional meal replacement shake?Updated 5 months ago

Depending on the condition you are managing with an elemental diet, protocols often recommend using it as your sole source of nutrition for the most effective results. However, the elemental diet is also highly versatile and can be used as a maintenance shake to replace some meals. This approach can help manage symptoms, support digestion, and provide easy-to-absorb supplemental nutrition when your body needs additional support. Additionally, it can serve as a valuable reset for a few days during symptom flares, helping to reduce inflammation and give your digestive system a rest. This flexibility makes the elemental diet a powerful ally in managing GI health and promoting overall digestive well-being.
