I tried this product because I had started a very physical job and needed to keep my blood sugar from dropping so fast. However, I couldn't continue it, because it gave me severe sudden attacks of diarrhea. I actually ended up quitting my job over the embarrassment as it happened twice .

I drank a couple of them and got loose stools before I noticed it contains carrageenan. I just didn't expect it to have carrageenan as Glucerna touts itself as being gluten-free for people with celiac disease; I mean more people suffer from ulcerative colitis, crohn's disease, and irritable bowel syndrome than celiac's.

Scientific studies have show that carrageenan may worsen or will worsen symptoms of people with irritable bowel diseases. I know carrageenan is FDA approved in the US, but it's not approved in other countries. I also know normal healthy people can eat carrageenan with no problem, just as normal health people can eat gluten as part of a balanced diet. If you have an irritable bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome think twice before drinking Glucerna.

I drink a shake every morning. I enjoy the taste and feel full afterwards. I only had bowel issues once but I had drank 2 of them for breakfast.

It gave me severe diarrhea 15 minutes after I drank it. I tried it several times just to make sure that it was the Glucerna and it was. I had to go back to more expensive Boost glucose control shakes which I don't have any problems with.
