Elemental and semi-elemental diets are liquid diets that work quickly to improve IBD (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s), IBS, SIBO, and inflammatory conditions. In fact, elemental diets are proven to work where other approaches have failed.

What the Research Shows

  • Preliminary clinical research has shown this to be true – this is not speculation
  • Elemental diets are highly effective for IBD (Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s).
  • The bulk of research into elemental diets is focused on IBD. It has been shown to be an effective treatment for IBD in numerous clinical trials, decreasing inflammation, reducing autoimmunity, and preventing relapses.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11.
  • While data is still preliminary data, elemental diets have been shown to improve IBS, SIBO, celiac disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.
  • After two weeks on the elemental diet, 80% of subjects saw their SIBO breath test normalize, and 65% experienced an improvement in their IBS symptoms. 12
  • An elemental diet has been shown to help repair intestinal damage, reduce intestinal inflammation, and improve symptoms in those with celiac disease who did not respond fully to a gluten-free diet. 13
  • A clinical trial has shown that an elemental diet was as effective as the anti-inflammatory steroid drug prednisone for rheumatoid arthritis. 14
  • There seems to be general agreement among clinicians that elemental diets are a highly effective treatment. I have also found elemental diets to be very effective for patients. As the gut heals, patients often experience dramatic improvements in mood, sleep, fatigue, and mental clarity.
  • Research shows that elemental diets are safe
  • In research involving Crohn’s patients, long-term use of elemental diets was found to improve patient health and appeared to be very safe.15,16,17,
80%

of SIBO patients saw lactulose breath tests normalize.

Why Dr. Ruscio Recommends It

Why Dr. Ruscio Recommends It

Clinic-Proven Power: Elemental Heal Therapy

Elemental diets are one of the most effective therapies I’ve used in the clinic.

Equally Effective: Semi-Elemental Diets Backed by Trials

Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated that a semi-elemental diet (containing whey) is equally effective to a fully elemental diet.

Next Step in Healing

If you have already improved your diet and used probiotics but still have symptoms, an elemental diet should be considered.

Multi-Mechanism Healing: Elemental Diet's Action Plan

Elemental diets are so effective because they act through multiple mechanisms: starving bacterial and fungal overgrowths, reducing exposure to dietary irritants, providing a chance for your intestinal tract to rest and repair*.

Reviews

Love these shakes

"I love these shakes. I have no digestive issues when I drink them. They taste great with just water and mix well in a shaker bottle. I can’t do pea protein because it makes me so bloated. I’ve had IBS since childhood and sometimes skip meals because my GI issues are so bad. Elemental heal is a complete meal replacement and I’m so grateful I found it. The only reason I made it 4 ⭐️ is it’s pricey compared to a regular home cooked meal. I wish it was sold in stores so I wouldn’t have to pay for shipping."

— Jacquelyn p. (4/5)

5 Stars

"I’ve had a really good experience with Elemental Diet. It helped me a lot and, compared to many similar products, it actually tastes quite good. The only downside is that the shipping costs to Europe are pretty high. Still, overall a great product and definitely worth it for me."

— Jakob W. (5/5)

Delicious !!

"I was worried I'd have a difficult time sticking to the 14 day course, but the chocolate shakes prepared with the MCT oil powder & some ice in a blender, was creamy & filling. I actually missed the shakes when I went back to solid food."

— Krista K. (5/5)

Delicious

"I wasn't sure what to expect with this product but I have to say I am impressed. I ordered both the vanilla and chocolate flavor and I like them both."

— Tracey S. (5/5)

2 Containers - 1 week

"I purchased 2 chocolate containers of Elemental Heal hoping for a 2 week fast. I finished the last container on the 7th day. Each only contains 9 servings (4 scoops) and expect the order to arrive the full 5 business days later. The product did seem to work well for the time it lasted. I found using a blender gives better results. Verdict - works good, wouldn't buy again unless it was locally available. It's a bit spendy to only use USPS snail mail."

— Rubert C. (5/5)

Relief feels so good!

"After just 3 days I can bend. Inflammation in my hands and feet improved. I am hoping I can stick with the diet long enough for my heartburn to improve. The shakes are easy and delicious. I am quite surprise that the taste is actually good! Thumbs up!"

— Casey O. (5/5)

The only product that helped.

"I was skeptical but just placed my second order. I have tried so many shake mixes and this is the only one that actually delivered and has helped to calm my gut. I have been on high doses of PPIs for years, which caused such an imbalance in my gut, aka SIBO. Everything I ate caused pain, extreme bloat and gas. After a few days of using EH, I noticed subtle calming. After a week the bloat was gone and my sleep even improved. After three weeks I have been able to taper PPI to a minimum. Now at 4 weeks, I am eating again without pain or reflux rebound. I'm not 100% healed (yet) and do still watch my diet, but the difference after one container is remarkable. If you try it, be patient and consistent. It’s worth it!"

— Cynthia R. (5/5)

This stuff is unparalleled

"Maybe I can help someone who is dealing with digestive issues, because I know what a long, arduous road it is. I tried other elemental formulas and I'd gag while trying to down them. I was reading Reddit and a poster said that the best product that she found is Ruscio's. I didn't know the poster but they helped me a lot. I tried Elemental Heal chocolate and I can't say enough good about it. The chocolate is rich and unique and my husband and I now use it as a meal replacement. It's great for older people. I think that they have a lifetime customer."

— Sharon R. (1/5)

Great Digestive Reset

"I was experiencing some digestive issues, so I decided to give Elemental Heal a try. After using it exclusively for 4 days I was 99% back to normal. This works!"

— Ryan K. (5/5)

Great and healing Just as advertised

"Elemental heel is a fabulous product. It’s delicious. It mixes up easily and its satisfies and heals the gut at the same time. I simplycan’t do without it."

— Anne G. (5/5)

Q&A

I bought this product to do a three day reset, not realizing it recommended MCT oil as well. If I do not add the MCT in, will I not get the same healing effects?
MCT is optional. It's not included in the original formula to allow people to customize the dose. The whey free and low carb already contain MCT in the formula.
interested in the Elemental Heal for a 3 week gut repair, so does this replace my daily meal? And if i only drink the elemental heal 3 cups per day without eating anything will that be ok? or i'll nee to drink more throughout the day? is this how it works? im 165cm and 52kg in weight. age 26. TIA
3 servings will likely not be enough per day. Check out the dosing calculator here: https://drruscio.com/eh-dosing-calculator/
What is the shelf life of this product?
it's guaranteed for 2 years from the manufacturing date printed on the container.
One ingredient list includes stevia and one does not but it’s unclear which is which in the photos. I do not like the taste of stevia. Is there one without?
Our Elemental Heal Vanilla is stevia-free. The rest contain stevia.
Are there any shakes that don’t contain milk products? I have a dairy intolerance . Thank you!
Our Elemental Heal Whey Free in chocolate or peach is dairy free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What supplements do I take after I’m done with the Elemental Heal diet?

No specific supplements are required.  But 2 helpful support strategies are below:

  • Elemental Heal as a daily meal replacement, providing your gut a daily healing window. 
  • Probiotics help maintain bacterial balance.  Lacto-Biff, S. Boulardii, Soil-Based. And Gut Rebuild Nutrients help maintain a healthy intestinal barrier.

What if I’m lactose and casein intolerant, can I use the product?
  • Elemental Heal is lactose and casein free. However, we can’t guarantee complete freedom from trace amounts that might result during production.

What if I’m allergic/intolerant to whey?
  • Be cautious.  Elemental Heal uses whey protein. 
  • Try our Elemental Heal Whey-Free Formula.

Do you still recommend Elemental Heal if I have an allergy to milk proteins (not just lactose intolerance)?
  • You would be better off to try our Elemental Heal Whey-Free Formula.

Can Elemental Heal help with weight loss?
  • Potentially.
  • If used as a meal replacement and to reduce total daily caloric intake.
  • Or, via reduced inflammation as your gut heals.

Will the carbs in Elemental Heal feed fungus or candida?
  • There’s no research to answer this question.
  • My opinion, no.  
  • Why? Because it is absorbed in the first few feet of intestines. So it should starve fungus just like it does bacteria.  

Is Elemental Heal safe for children?
  • YES. Robust research shows the benefit for children with inflammatory bowel disease;
  • Reduced symptoms, less relapse, improved growth…

Can Elemental Heal be used by highly active people?
  • YES
  • Why? It is a highly absorbable form of calories.  Many patients have noted they feel improved energy and vigor during workouts. 
  • Be sure your caloric intake is high enough though 

Can Elemental Heal be used all day?
  • “I prefer to blend up all of my Elemental Heal shakes at the beginning of the day, but on the bottle it says to consume within 4 hours. Why is that? What happens after 4 hours?”
  • As long as it’s kept cold, that should be fine.
  • Refrigerate to prevent spoilage
