Does anyone know of a weight gain powder that does not have milk or a lot of unhealthy (High FODMAP) ingredients?

My dietician is working with a Doctor to find something my insurance will cover. The pharmacy I go to does not have anything, or they would have to order it. I only have Medicare, and they won't pay for nutritional supplements. I am low income..on Disability. He (Doctor) is trying to call in a script for "Ensure" that a medical supply store may have. Yesterday, the dietician bought out some bottles/samples of Ensure. But I noticed it has a lot of High FODMAP ingredients, although they seemed to have reduced the sugar content. I have to probably pay out of pocket. I looked at some websites..and it seems everything is for bodybuilders. Does anyone have any suggestions (who have lost a lot of weight) - I have IBS-C..pretty severe, and losing weight really bad. I have tried to eat..but everything even the smallest meal, makes me cramp. I just woke up, and am not feeling well..more lower abdominal cramping. Doctor wants me to take two Ensure a day, but 100 calories per bottle seems very little. I am looking into powders in a tub..it's all I can afford. Thanks for reading..☺

I have lost a lot of weight in the past year I am in Australia my dietician put me on resonance 2 it is made by nestle and is specially for low fodmap people it is very expensive and comes in200ml poppers I had to have it delivered. It is a good substitute if you are unable to eat a meal due. To pain etc. hope you feel better soon and gin weight

Thank you, I wish I could afford it, but am in low income, and I only have Medicare which won't pay for supplements. I'm glad you found something that works..☺

I just tried to "Google it" and couldn't find any information. Do you have a website for them? I'm in the states..

I am not sure of the website but Iam sure they will have a nestle distribution in USA try nestle.com au and maybe something will show up maybe Medicare would cover it you probably should enquire.

Hi ! I'm struggling too to gain weight as i suffer from IBS/ A ..alternating between diarrhea and " constipated diahrrea " a term i've invented so that i can better explain my condition to doctors 😳 which is also another separate struggle 😩 ..Any ways i was browsing the net and found this website that offerers nutritional drinks and pudding like foods " to make it easy to swallow " ..you can browse the menu under "shop by category " then scroll down to Dairy free section ..To be honest i haven't tried their products yet , but I'm planning to do so as every powder supplement sold locally in my country contains either corn syrup or milk proteins that are huge triggers for me :

Yes, thank you so much, it gives me a lot of hope, and hopefully they will ship to States. ☺🌸

I found this drink 👆 the most suitable for our sensitive guts , hopefully as it doesn't contain so many trigger ingredients plus it's Dairy free

Thank you. They are too expensive for me unfortunately. I'm on Disability. Low income. My insurance won't pay unless I am on feeding tube. I have to get one of those canisters with powder you stir I'm water..rats..
