Helps with Diverticulosis

I have severe diverticulosis and tried this as an alternative to Provide to get more liquid nutrients. I started using it after being hospitalized and switched from liquid and soft foods to other products. When you have an illness, this is the stage where every bite counts and you feel constantly malnourished! This product makes a great fruit smoothie - on its own it tastes like your vegan aunt's homemade version of a quick clove breakfast, not bad, healthy, pretty sweet πŸ˜„ - and definitely got me going in just a few days. My urine is the same color as when I took a multivitamin, it was a bit light at first as the antioxidants were working, but this can be bothersome for some; it levels out. I hope that over time this will help restore my health as I need to avoid surgery. UPDATE EDIT: Great product. I feel a lot healthier after a few weeks of daily shakes. I will continue to use! 8 weeks later: I haven't felt this good in at least a few years. To help my DVT (and relieve fibrotic pain), I make a daily smoothie with turmeric, bee pollen, propolis, raw honey and other supplements, and a banana. It's changing my life now and I've never felt so healthy when it comes to nutrition. I hope the company knows about this! ONE YEAR'S UPDATE: I ended up having surgery, but have continued to use this product throughout my recovery when "provision" became too sweet, and afterwards. My surgical nurse, who also suffers from IBS, admitted to me that she drinks this every day and avoids surgery. Now I can only eat small meals with no appetite and it helps me get good nutrients without irritating diverticulosis. I make morning smoothies with canned fruit, juices, yogurt, etc. Great product for people with diverticulosis.
