Does the supplement Ensure give you diarrhea?
Ensure is one type of supplemental nutritional drink often used when a person is unable to chew well or to eat enough calories to sustain proteins needed for muscle and when other nutrients are low.
Ensure contains high protein, high carbohydrates, and high fat, since the persons who should be using this product need the extra calories and extra boost of nutrients. Products like Glucerna are used for persons with diabetes, when nutrients are needed but the person must watch the blood glucose level. Glucerna contains 3x less carbs, fat, and protein and less calories than Ensure.
Since both products and others like them (ex. Boost drinks) contain such concentrated nutrients, they can create diarrhea, especially if the drink is the only (or almost only) nutrition the person is consuming. Eating small meals of real foods can help decrease the diarrhea.
It is important to note that the diarrhea from these nutritional drinks can cause a thick, sticky bowel movement, whether soft or diarrhea. It is difficult to remove by just wiping with toilet tissue. It is important to remove the thick, sticky BM from the skin or else the anus can become excoriated, (i.e. burning, red, broken skin). Shower or bathe every day to keep the anus clean. Unscented baby wipes (such as Equate brand) can be used for quick clean-ups. Products with witch hazel, such as Tucks for hemmorroids, can decrease the burning sensation.
As well, these drinks are not meant for healthy people nor meant as a replacement for all meals, especially for people who can eat. People need regular foods to maintain proper digestive health. A mere 3 cans of regular Ensure is more calories than the average healthy person needs for daily nutrition. A mere 4 cans of Glucerna more than adequately provides enough calories for a diabetic patient. The small size of cans and quantity of fluid is deceiving---a healthy person who is drinking more than 1 or 2 cans a day needs --must-- talk to the doctor about why the person is not eating 3 meals of regular foods every day.

Diarrhea can usually be created in a few ways.
The first way occurs when food contents move too quickly through the intestines. The contents do not have enough time to dry up in the large intestine before being excreted, and when the contents are finally excreted they are watery.
The second way occurs when a lot of water is pulled into the large intestine. Some sugars can cause this effect, and when they do the resulting feces is watery.
