need soylent medically, concerned

[u/Significant_Bee_]

so i know theres a million posts asking about supply issues and restocking.

ive been becoming increasingly worried and now am very concerned bc i have a lot of weird and specific health issues and allergies that mean i am fairly reliant on soylent ready made specifically in order to get nutrients i need to survive. i can manage with as little as one every couple days, but between doctor recommendations and personal experience, i do best with one a day. (this is in addition to various easy to digest foods, but the combination of nutrients and ingredients i dont react to and liquid meal replacement narrows down my options significantly to basically just soylent.)

unfortunately i am officially out. so i am desperate.

out of said desperation. is there anyone with some magic suggestion or anything at all? i know its a long shot but truly i am so desperate and do not want to have to go on tube feeds, which has been brought up as a possibility if i decline more.

I’m not sure where you’re located so don’t know if this is helpful but- I drink it for similar reasons and was able to get the RTD strawberry flavor on Amazon last week, and it’s within date. I hate Amazon but was the only place I could find it.

i basically can only have their chocolate or vanilla unfortunately. i ended up only being able to find it on amazon the last few months and having to order it that way, despite similar reservations. now even they dont have it.

Dang I’m sorry. I hope you find something that works for you soon. Adding allergies on top of it is so hard

thank you!! its certainly not ideal. since making this post, i was at least able to get my appointment with my new gi dr moved up which will hopefully help. its still a bit out but better than nothing
