I was absolutely horrified when she told me! This will have a huge effect on me and everyone who suffers from Gastro Illnesses and loads of other illnesses! I NEED those nutritional supplements because I'm anaemic and CAN'T take iron tablets because they hurt my stomach. Also, because I had surgery on my small bowel I find it very difficult to absorb protein from normal food so I also need them for that!
Does anyone else have any more news or an opinion on this?
