Hi
Thanks for your query. I have read your query.

Threptin biscuits also seem safe for prolonged use. You can take ensure drinks. It provides the extra calories without disturbing the intestines. Soya products must also be digested easily. These are to be used as add-on to your regular diet.

Let me know if you have any further doubts.
