Need a Meal Replacement powder with no fiber added

I have a lot of trouble with my digestion, i'm down to 1 meal a day, and even thats hard to digest. I get light headed and tired a lot as a result. I noticed if i take a meal replacement powder in juice that i feel better. But all the meal replacement powders ive seen have fiber thats very hard for me to digest. They also have wieght loss formula's in them too which i dont want either. So is there a good meal replacement powder i can get that has the nutrients i need but no fiber and no weight loss formula? Any suggestions?

If it makes you feel any better (since the only answer you've gotten is totally unhelpful and given without any sence of the problems you may face), I understand what it's like not to be able to digest foods properly and have to look for no fiber liquid solutions. "Getting a diagnosis" is often an impossible dream because, half the time, the doctors just don't know. They run test after test, causing an ever-mounting amount of permanent problems you get to live with for the rest of your life, but gain ZERO insight into the original problem. Round and round Robin Hood's barn they run, and all the while, you get sicker and sicker and sicker, no matter how many DOZENS of doctors, tests, and hospitals you suffer through (and if there's one thing you can always count on doing in a hospital, it's suffering - they make absolutely sure of that). Believe me, I've been there myself (more times than I would care to count). Now, my own digestive problems are getting so bad (and there are so many other problems, a good number of them caused by the doctors' attempts to "help") that I too have trouble eating. It's hard to swallow, my stomach cramps when food hits it and I'm nauseus the whole time food is in it, and just when you think that rock of pain is easing up, the food hits your intestines, which burn and cramp as the food moves through them. By the time all of that is done, you're hungry again, which is a sharp stabbing pain. So, which do you want? Higher cramping with nausea, lower cramping with burning, or crippling sharp stabbing pain? Take your pick. You lose any way you go.

No.  Sorry, but you have to live on food.  You need to solve your underlying problem.  By the way, we don't digest fiber, it goes right through us.  That's why we take it.  But it can cause bloating.  Have you had a diagnosis?  Have you seen a holistic nutritionist?  Tested for Ciliac and food intolerances?  Tried digestive enzymes?  Somehow you have to get to the bottom of it, because all meal replacements have things in them you don't want and lack things you need.  You gotta eat.
