Lightbulb liquid flax oil...

You could start this with DROPS... 20drops is about a milliliter in volume.

If you put 10 drops in one feeding, once a day.
Then if you tolerate that do 10 drops in 2 feedings.
If you tolerate that do 10 drops in 3 feedings.
up to 5 feedings would give you 1/2 teaspoonful of flax oil.

This would not overload your feedings with fat, but at the end of the day
you would be ahead with the nutrient. And it would then help you heal.
Fat slows stomach emptying for everyone. But in small increments you will not notice it.
This is the best flax oil on the planet:

Keep in the fridge when you open it. (it has an expiration date)

The same with the protein. You can mix a small amount (there is a scoop in
it) with water, and add to your Ensure 10% of one scoop only to start. Forget the fruit juice... use what works for you.

I would worry about the cardiomyopathy.. from protein starvation.
Also carnitine is used for cardiomyopathy...it is available OTC in caps, which you can mix into the Ensure.

from http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic289.htm

Start slowly, and introduce the protein and fat, slowly, very slowly.

Have you tried the erythromycin therapy? It is listed on some gastro sites, and also used in patients with scleroderma who lose GI function.

Also since your nerve is suspect, I'd try high dose thiamine. This really works for many neuropathies, and although an old treatment, it is still valuable, and inexpensive.
