The Whey Free Elemental Diet
Most elemental diet products have been out of reach for people with whey intolerance (or milk allergy), that’s why we created Elemental Heal Whey Free.
The elemental diet is a unique pre-digested, hypoallergenic formula that helps support and heal the gut. Research shows that an elemental diet can support a healthy inflammatory response in the gut and joints and starve potential overgrowth of bacteria and fungus.
If you have already improved your diet and used probiotics but still have symptoms, an elemental diet should be considered.

Why Dr. Ruscio, DC Recommends it
- Elemental diets are one of the most effective therapies I’ve used in the clinic.
Numerous trials support this observation.
- With a high whey content, most elemental diet products have been out of reach for people with whey intolerance/allergy. That’s why we created Elemental Heal Whey Free.
If you have already improved your diet and used probiotics but still have symptoms, an elemental diet should be considered.
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*
What the Research Shows

Elemental diets have been shown to be an effective treatment for inflammatory bowel disease in numerous clinical trials, decreasing inflammation, reducing autoimmunity, and preventing relapses. [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
- A clinical trial has shown that an elemental diet was as effective as the anti-inflammatory steroid drug prednisone for rheumatoid arthritis. [13]

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 casein free. The amount of lactose it contains is ≤ 3% and is low enough that many people who normally don't do well with lactose are able to tolerate Elemental Heal with no problem.
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
Why is there less protien listed on the ingredient label?
Protein is a very large nutrient that’s made up of smaller substances called amino acids. Your body needs 20 different amino acids to grow and function properly. Though all 20 of these are important for your health, only nine amino acids are classified as essential (1) and are the ones you can only get through diet. They are:
- Histidine
- Isoleucine
- Leucine
- Lysine
- Methionine (+ the non-essential amino acid cysteine)
- Phenylalanine (+ the non-essential amino acid tyrosine)
- Threonine
- Tryptophan
- Valine
Instead of the whey protein isolate included in the Original and Low Carb formulas, Elemental Heal Whey Free contains 250 mg of each of these essential amino acids per serving, which meets the US recommended daily allowances for these nine essential amino acids (2).
