I recently created this presentation on the formulation of Absorb Plus shakes on behalf of IMIX Nutrition and it’s packed with good information – so of course I wanted to share it with the LTYG community too!
I go into a little bit about my backstory, being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, and what led me to create Absorb Plus – and I recommend you watch the video if you’re interested in learning more:
- An elemental vs. a semi-elemental diet
- Elemental vs. polymer formulas
- Challenges with protein components in an elemental diet
- Definitions of elementary foods (what is allowed)
- Difficulty with basic nutrition
- Other diet options for intestinal rest
- And what makes Absorb Plus different?

**Note: Many readers have written to us asking if they can add more than the recommended scoop amount to their shakes – and if there are any downsides to doing so. In my book, The IBD Remission Diet, I talk about why I formulated Absorb Plus to contain about 27 grams of protein per serving. I based this calculation on the protein intake of bodybuilders. Because if you consume more proteins than your body can use, it will excrete it through urine. Therefore, I recommend my readers not to consume more than 1 shake per hour for efficient protein utilization. And be sure to drink your shakes slowly to ensure maximum nutrient retention/utilization!
