High Calorie Drinks

Hello.

My wife requires a course of high calorie drinks in order to counteract her loss of weight. She has been prescribed Ensure Plus Juce. (actually spelt that way on the label). She has become intolerant to milk and unfortunately this product contains milk. Can anyone advise on an alternative supplement or drink that DOESN'T contain milk? We are really struggling at the moment to find one.   :)

  • Welcome to the forum Tristar.

    I'm sorry to hear your wife has become intolerant to milk and is now unable to have the product that was prescribed for her. Have you managed to let her medical team know? If not do make sure you have a chat with them as they will be in the best position to recommend alternatives. Our cancer nurses may be able to help as well so do give them a call next week if you get a chance. They are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040 which is free to call from a UK landline.

    I hope you are able to find a substitute drink for the Ensure Plus Juce and that your wife is able to continue with high calorie drinks to counteract her loss of weight.

    All the best,
