Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)
Ensure isn't dairy, per se, but it does contain "calcium caseinate". I'm not 100% sure about this particular ingredient, but generally speaking, casein is a dairy derivative, and some people with IBS can tolerate it just fine, while others find ANY dairy derivatives to be triggers.
Not saying that she shouldn't use them, but like anything else, it might be better to buy a couple cans and try a little at a time before investing in a case deal at Costco. Heh.
As a side note, I'm having the same problem with eating and am thinking about trying the Ensure too... how do they taste? Any flavors better than others?
Glad to see someone else can handle Gatorade... now I don't feel so bad for recommending it!
