Hi Everyone,
Since My dad is not eating at all, Is it ok if I gave him an Ensure drink?

Thanks and Have a great weekend.

Another good thing is Gatorade.  It has electrolites (or something like that).  When my dad was dying of cancer (oh so slow) that is one of the things they said that would be good for hydration and his body.  Another thing he liked was Atkins chocolate liquid drink.  It does not have alot of carbs so if you are looking for that something else may be better.

Great that you're feeling well. Don't want to lecture you of all people on nutrition. LOL. But how is your triglycerides with all that fruit? I think I read somewhere that high triglicerides may be associated with fatty liver as well as pancreitis. If that's the case, maybe you need to tweak your diet some, although it sounds you're family (mother's side) is doing just fine without my advice. BTW I'm eating A LOT healthier now that I'm off the treatment drugs. Have a great Mem day weekend.

WELL, WELL STATED SIR!!! MY HAT'S OFF TO YOU, AND I DON'T WEAR A HAT! NO MONEY IN NUTRITION!!!! NO MONEY IN APPLES FOR GODSAKES! NO PATENT AGREEMENTS IN A VEGGIE SALAD!!!

But I did found something encouraging, when Kalio told me about rapid weight gain with hep c, I went a searchin last night, and on the Veteren's Admin site, I found this whole section on how proper diet and nutrition can really benefit hep c sufferers, take down enzymes and inflammation, etc. It kind of astounded me, some of these orgs are finally getting some truth out there, I guess they see in in their patients!
