Also potentially in the reformulation hall of shame - Ensure powder. I’d been drinking it in recent years to help maintain nutrition, but then it got taken off shelves and brought back with new labels…
TW medical, vomiting
In developments that may or may not be connected, I started needing to dilute the Ensure much more to stomach it and eventually completely stopped having it because it was making me really sick, much more than my normal baseline.
My stomach still shuts down (gastroparesis but possibly something else too - tests are still pending) and I’m still in a lot of pain but since I quit drinking the Ensure I’m no longer routinely vomiting.
It was always a little gross to drink and I can’t find anything about a reformulation? Nothing is jumping out at me as different on the label.
But more recently it’s unambiguously been worsening things for me and I’m trying to remember if that started around the time of the new packaging.
I really feel like companies should be required to announce changes and disclose what they were.

so many hugs
have you thought of baby formula?
Thanks, I tried it but need non-dairy and the taste was pretty bad. I also feel weirdly guilty about taking something a child might need.
I’m going through so many options to try and regain my health but keep running into roadblocks and reformulations.
