It is difficult to assess this unequivocally without knowing your medical records. Please follow the instructions of your doctor, who adjusts the treatment according to your current clinical condition. A preparation dedicated to dietary management in inflammatory bowel disease is Modulen IBD. This is a nutritionally complete diet. I enclose a detailed description of the preparation you are asking about: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/88869/modulen-ibd-smak-neutralny-proszek-do-wytworzenia-plynu/apteki Nutamil and Ensure are preparations for dietary management in people with symptoms of malnutrition and in people who are at risk of malnutrition. They are also recommended for oncological patients with an increased need for protein. Nutramil Complex Protein: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/91432/nutramil-complex-protein-truskawka-proszek-do-wytworzenia-plynu/apteki Nutramil Complex: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/96434/nutramil-complex-wanilia-proszek-do-wytworzenia-plynu/apteki Ensure: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/115292/ensure-smak-waniliowy-proszek-do-wytworzenia-plynu/apteki
Thank you for the information. So which preparation will be best for celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease: Ensure, Nutramil Complex, Nutramil Complex Protein, or Modulen IBD?

1. Are preparations such as Nutramil Complex, Modulen IBD, Ensure, etc. are they refunded? Of these preparations, only Modulen IBD is reformed, and only in the induction of remission in children and adolescents over 5 years of age with the active form of Crohn's disease. Inflammatory disease is non-specific and celiac disease is not a reimbursement indication for food for special purposes. 2. What is the difference between Ensure powder and Nutramil Complex Or Nutramil Complex Protein powder? The listed preparations differ in quality composition. Nutramil Protein Complex contains the most protein - 18.8g / procia. Nutramil is also characterized by a higher content of vitamins and minerals and caloric content. 3. Will rice gruel with Nuramil or Ensure reduce abdominal pain with inflammatory bowel disease? The body's response to certain foods is an individual trait that is difficult for an outsider to estimate. 4. Why is Ensure powder difficult to find in pharmacies? Is it still produced? Can it be used together with Nutramil? Ensure is currently available in 2% of pharmacies related to GdziePoLek.pl. I also encourage you to follow the link below and to sign up for notifications about this product: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/115292/ensure-smak-waniliowy-proszek-do-wytworzenia-plynu/apteki We have asked the manufacturer to provide information whether the preparation will be re-distributed. As soon as we receive a response, we will post it in this thread. Due to the similar composition, Nutramil and Ensure can be used interchangeably, not simultaneously. 5. Can any of the preparations be used for weight loss caused by diseases such as inflammatory disease or celiac disease? In addition to these preparations, you can also use: Nutridrink: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/55264/nutridrink-protein-o-smaku-waniliowym-plyn/apteki Protifar: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/64887/protifar-proszek-do-wytworzenia-zawiesiny/apteki Fresubin: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/31313/fresubin-protein-energy-drink-o-smaku-poziomkowym-plyn/apteki And after consulting a doctor, Megalia syrup to increase appetite. The preparation is used in the treatment of anorexia, as well as in the course of cancer and AIDS, which result in significant weight loss. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/47870/megalia-zawiesina/apteki
This is how I understand how to treat the disease entities I mentioned. I ask about food for special medical purposes as supportive preparations, e.g. in weight loss, malnutrition of the patient, etc. E.g. such as Nutramil Complex, Modulen IBD, Ensure, etc. I have only given examples, but I mean whether the disease entities I mentioned in the question any of the preparations marked as food for special medical purposes is reimbursed? Not necessarily the ones I mentioned. There may be others. Is it only about whether they are refunded? If so, which ones? By the way, I would like to ask what is the difference between Emsere powder and Nutramil Complex Or Nutramil Complex Protein powder? Will rice gruel with Nuramil or Ensure reduce abdominal pain with inflammatory bowel disease? Why is Ensure powder difficult to find in pharmacies? Is it still produced? Can it be used together with Nutramil? Can any of the preparations be used for weight loss caused by diseases such as inflammatory disease or celiac disease?

Drugs for inflammatory bowel disease used most often are: mesalazine, glucocorticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs. They are reimbursed, but do not have the status of food only medicinal products. The treatment for celiac disease is the use of a gluten-free diet, that is, the elimination of all products containing gluten (mainly cereal grains - wheat, barley and rye). In this case, you do not need to use any medication.
Thank you. I would like to ask whether in such diseases as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), celiac disease (celiac disease) and food allergies and chronic diarrhea currently any of the preparations marked as food for special medical purposes is covered by the refund? If so, under what name is the preparation covered by the refund?

Yes, in the current reimbursement list there is a whole list of reimbursed preparations. It will include, m.in, products used in: - dietary management in malnutrition associated with the underlying disease in infants and children up to 6 years of age - cystic fibrosis, cancer, congenital heart defects - syndromes of congenital metabolic defects, food allergies and chronic diarrhea - milk for children in severe allergy to cow's milk proteins and complex intolerance to food proteins - phenylketonuria If you want to ask about a specific preparation, please clarify the question. It is impossible to list the entire reimbursement list here.
