Jini’s Story
Absorb Plus and Absorb Plus Vegan was developed by Jini Patel Thompson, who suffered greatly from the effects of Crohn’s disease. In fact, so severe were her symptoms, the least amount of food would trigger massive bleeding. Can you imagine not being able to eat solid food at the risk of suffering severe and debilitating pain? After she refused surgery and drugs, her gastroenterologist suggested the elemental diet.
What is an Elemental Diet?
An elemental diet, or bowel rest diet, is a liquid diet that consists of pre-digested nutrients that are ingested into the bloodstream rapidly, giving the gastrointestinal system a chance to heal and rest. There are several options for how to implement the elemental diet, depending on your specific needs and the advice of your health care provider. Some people implement just the shakes for six weeks, while others implement a combination of shakes and low residue foods.
Low residue foods include:
- Refined cereals
- White bread
- Fruit juice
- Eggs
- Dairy products
- Pasta
- Bananas
- Canned fruit
- Potatoes
These foods get digested quickly, giving the intestines and bowels a ‘break’ from heavier foods that take a long time to digest, such as whole wheat and whole grains. These may be considered healthier options, but can take its toll on the digestive system.
