We often get this question – which version of Absorb Plus elemental shake should I use? Absorb Plus is an amazingly delicious, elemental diet shake comprised of the highest quality, natural, elemental (pre-digested) ingredients.
Formulated by Jini Patel Thompson, Absorb Plus can be used for many purposes – allergy testing, clearing intestinal obstruction, bowel rest to stop bleeding, to assist healing, and to improve your overall gut flora.
Since the original line was created back in 2002, Jini has formulated 3 additional Absorb Plus varieties to fit to your lifestyle needs, food allergies, intolerances, and overall preferences.

If I know that grains bother my gut, would the vegetarian version work since it is an isolate or better to stay away from it?
Second question, do you have sample size in the vegetarian versions? Thanks
Hi Tara,
Thanks for your question! The Vegan version contains a sprouted brown rice protein isolate, which is generally well tolerated. Jini formulates each version of Absorb Plus with the highest quality protein isolate – however, if you would like to give the Vegan version a try to ensure it does work for you, then you can contact our customer care team to request a free sample:

Jini,
My name is Alex Spiegel. I have been a loyal customer of yours for 12 years as a Crohn’s patient. Absorb Plus has changed my life and helped me get through my attacks and finally achieve remission as of last year.
One of my closest friends from college has been struggling heavily and does not have the financial means to invest in his health. I am sending him a sample package as I think Absorb Plus would benefit him greatly. However, I am also only a year out of college and was wondering if there is any discount program available to long-standing repeat customers.
Thank you,
Alex

Jini,
I have been on the absorb plus for four days now and while the first day and a half I felt good the last few days I have been nauseous, having diarrhea and stomach cramps. Is this normal or does that mean I’m not tolerating it?
Hi Karis,
Thanks for reaching out. Are you on a fully elemental diet (Absorb Plus shakes only) or using in conjunction with food? When transitioning to a liquid diet, you can experience some diarrhea, bloating, or cramping – you can read more about this in Jini’s blog post here: https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/bowel-issues-on-an-elemental-diet/
Your bowel issues may also be caused by Candida overgrowth, or bad bacteria. Jini’s Wild Oregano protocol is recommended, as it sweeps all the bacteria out of your gut, and taking Natren brand probiotics re-populate the gut with good bacteria. Taking probiotics whilst consuming the shakes can help as well, as this can often reduce the urgency and liquidity of bowel movements.
I hope this helps!
Best,

Hi,
On a half-elemental diet – is it okay to mix absorb plus in a banana and avocado smoothie with home made almond nut milk?
Or for best absorption – would you recommend to have the absorb plus by itself first for best absorption?
Thanks,
Hi Natasha! You can mix it in a smoothie with homemade almond nut milk, or you can have Absorb Plus by itself first for optimal absorption. Both approaches are acceptable, and you can choose the method that suits your preferences and needs. Feel free to experiment and find what works best for you. Hope that helps. 🙂
