Do you experience extreme hunger while on the elemental diet?Updated 7 months ago

Everyone's experience with the elemental diet is unique, however, we do find that most patients are able to feel appropriately satisfied of their hunger while using mBIOTA Elemental™ as long as they are consuming enough servings. The first 1-3 days are the most difficult as your body adjusts both physically and mentally to a fully liquid diet. We recommend trying to stay ahead of any feelings of hunger by timing your servings every 2-4 hours. Your health care provider should advise the appropriate number of servings for your individual caloric needs, however, in our 2023 clinical trial, patients reported feeling adequately nourished on an average of 4-5 servings per day.
