Kelly,
Just wanted to say that a few years ago; following a terrible bout of pneumonia, my doctor ordered me to take Boost for 2 months, 3X a day.
In my case, it wasn't to gain weight, it was to replenish and build up my health status. I was terribly malnourished, as the pneumonia had just ravished my body nutritionally. I was low on protein, and depleted of vitamins and minerals.
I was wondering if you are supposed to take the Boost to gain weight or to improve your nutritional status or both.
As far as my ibs was concerned, I was in such a poor state physically that my ibs was worsened due to my poor health anyway and as HanSolo said, I too, had nothing to lose by trying the recommended Boost. I found that the Boost actually made things much better.
Plus, it restored me to health. I believe you mentioned a while back that you were low on B12 and may need shots. So, I'm just thinking that your doctors might be trying to restore you to a healthy nutritional state also.
I would suggest that you let your doctor know if you're going to use something other than what he has recommended as I attribute the Boost with helping to save my life. It really did replenish me and I was able to return to my old self.
It's not always easy to balance what's good for IBS with what's good for something else. But, from one who has been there, I personally can vouch for a good liquid, nutritional supplement as being a true lifesaver!
