Anyone have chronic diarrhea while on digestive enzymes?

Your post is helpful. I am going to try 3 Zenpep at all meals. I have to gain 10 lbs. Did you have to gain weigh? And I thought Nutella had sugar. I don’t have diabetes, so I stay away from sugar. Just can’t get consistent. BM. Three days they are good, then I’ll eat something I always ate and the diarrhea returns. Maybe it’s because the enzymes aren’t strong enough.

Thanks for your response. It gives me something to try.

There is an on-line dosing calculator that makes it easier to determine the required amount of pancrealipase based on meal ingredients and the quantities. It does not yet list ZenPep so using the closest dosage to the Creon dosages in the menu will be equivalent.

Once I figured out the number of capsules for each meal, weight gain was much easier. Now I have to actually watch my weight in not gaining any more to maintain my BMI.
