It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

also if she has a bowl movement I wouldn’t let her get up too quickly.
After reading the ingredients, I don't see where this stuff is good for you. Might as well by a milkshake and throw in some protein powder.
And BabyGirlGa, what a great post and "mystery solving" on your own part. I am quite fascinated with this. I so seldom hear of people who will take ensure or boost in any great amounts. I agree. This could be a sugar thing.
In fact I'm now remembering that one of if not the first episodes occurred when Dad was in the cloak room at his church, bending over to get his boots or something like that, when he passed out and went down. At least there were a lot of boots to cushion his fall.
I'm wondering if this is happening with your mother? Have her faints happened close to getting up from a chair, or some similar activity of movement?
BabyGirlga, I wonder if cold water or iced tea don't provoke a response b/c they don't have either any preservatives, additive or whatever, and are literally more pure in form, especially water. If iced tea is based on an herbal tea, that's another factor to consider.
I've seen the ingredient list for Ensure and although I don't remember it, I think it had a lot of different ingredients, and perhaps some chemicals. They might be reacting to an overdose from the second bottle of it.
Back in the late 1980s I realized I was allergic to sodium nitrate and nitrite in foods, especially strawberries. So I avoided it in everything, including medicine, as an anesthetist told me that preservatives were used in meds. I had no idea of that and was shocked.
Every once in a while I'll have a reaction, and am reminded that I need to check ingredients of everything that's not natural, although it would be better if I could limit my intake only to natural foods and ingredients. But there's always chocolate and I haven't figured yet figured out a way to eliminate the food of the gods from my food intake. After all, if it's meant for gods, it must be good, right?

Can you pass out from drinking cold water?
“The cold ice water gets into the esophagus and the stomach, and there are nerves along the esophagus and stomach known as the vagus nerves,” Dr. Schultz explains. “These nerves can fire up, send a signal to the brain and actually cause an individual to pass out and lose consciousness briefly.”
Best of luck!!
