If you’ve had surgery involving partial or total removal of your oesophagus or stomach, you may still be able to consume Huel — but it’s important to follow the guidance provided by your healthcare team, just as you would with any other food.
Huel Powder and Ready-to-Drink contain low-glycaemic index ingredients, which may help reduce the risk of dumping syndrome, a common concern after gastrointestinal surgery. However, we recommend starting with smaller servings, spread throughout the day, to support digestion and tolerance.
Some types of gastrointestinal surgery can also affect nutrient absorption or increase your nutritional needs, so it’s best to consult your doctor, dietitian, or clinical team before making Huel a regular part of your diet. They can help assess whether it fits your specific nutritional plan.
