I have been hospitalized for dehydration 2 times this year, probably 8 times in the last 2 1/2 years. My GI has put me on EnteraGam once per day.
How is this supposed to work? Any success using it?
Thanks!

It looks like this is a beef protein isolate used to treat diarrhea predominant IBS. It is a medical food product (not a drug).
The idea is to reduce the diarrhea and that will improve nutritional status. I haven't heard of anyone here using it. Please let us know if it works for you! Here is a link to the product page.

dr. shen recommends pedialyte.(gotten at any grocery store..oral electrolyte..or gaterade..one loses lots of salt when having D.he said need to replenish it..the pedilyte is perhaps better as its used for children with diarrhea and has far less sugar..i aced him about the sugar taking in since i try to reduce intake with s.c.d. like diet..he aid not problem as this sugar does not remain in system to cause issues..
My hospital gave me a home made solution to drink when I'm dehydrated. It works very well
