My doctors want me on a nutrition type ensure or boost to get vitamins, nutrition and to help to gain some weight. Problem is they have been causing diahrhea. Not sure if its the sugar, milk or some of the vitamins. Ive tried ensure protein max but the same issues. Then just today I got boost glucose control but only to find out that they use sucralose which is a sugar alcohol and again major watery stools. 

Im wondering if anyone else with an ileostomy has had to drink these and if there's one that may not cause this side effect for us. My PCP is clueless about this.
