Is Ensure okay for IBS?

I'm having a really bad flare up of IBS and can't eat anything but Cream of Rice...could I drink Ensure (the high fiber, no lactose kind) to get a few more nutrients?

A few years back I knew a guy with Crohns disease / IBS and he practically lived off of those Ensures. But double check with your doctor first.

The one thing that my wife found which helped her IBS the most was Peppermint Gels. You can get NOW brand 90 count for under $10. The Peppermint oil in the capsules is an anti-spasmodic and keeps your digestive tract from acting up. Try supplimenting with that and I think you will find that you can broaden your food horizons a bit.
