I don’t have EPI; I have severe gastroporesis and lost about 40 pounds and was down to 90. My Dr. told me to drink 2 Boost Plus a day, in addition to meals. In one year I am back up to 133. He was shocked. I hope this may help.

Yes this helps thank you, but one follow up question. Did you have diabetes and if so were you or your doctor concerned about blood glucose levels with the 2 boost plus? Should we just concentrate on gaining the weight and not so much as to how? Also, can I ask what specifically was your symptoms with gastroporesis because I do not believe it has anything to do with being able to not absorb fat, protein, or nutrients from food, but more with muscle movements in stomach which cause pain.
