Sometimes I get emails from people who can’t tolerate maltodextrin at all. They often request that I put together a completely carb-free version of Absorb Plus. However, as I wrote in The IBD Remission Diet and in this post, it is extremely difficult to maintain or gain weight if you don’t eat carbohydrates.
If maltodextrin is your problem, perhaps due to histamine intolerance (*click this link to learn how to use DAO to cure histamine problems), then I’ll show you some food-based options you can use instead. The Easy Digest Shake is not elementary, but it is very easy to digest and generally well tolerated. But first, here is the completely carb-free Elemental Shake recipe:
Carbohydrate-free Elemental diet shake
– Shake in a blender bottle and drink slowly. Add ice if desired.
*MultiAbsorb Daily Essential contains exactly the same minerals, vitamins and amino acids as Absorb Plus.
Now, if you find that you can tolerate certain carbohydrates, it may be better to make this easily digestible shake or perhaps alternate this shake with the Elemental shake.
Easily digestible shake
– Blend the first 4 ingredients until smooth, then add protein and MultiAbsorb and blend on low speed for 10 seconds. Drink slowly. Add ice if desired.
*MultiAbsorb Daily Essential contains exactly the same minerals, vitamins and amino acids as Absorb Plus. The MultiAbsorb Immune Booster, on the other hand, contains all of this as well as supplements for intestinal, eye, hormonal, immune and respiratory health. MA Essential is elementary, MA Immune is not.
If you can tolerate easy-to-digest food-based shakes, also check out these healing shakes or vegan shake recipes for more options.
Hope this helps!
