Does anyone take Pancrease, digestive enzymes?

Hi Louise
Do you have colitis or what exactly do you have? My enzymes are high & that is why they think there is something wrong with the pancreas but meds & obstructions can cause high levels too. I'm confused bc the dr's keep thinking it is from the pancreas but something is causing me these high levels. Your levels are low so that would be different then me. Do you know if there is any test that could tell me why my enzymes of lipase & amylase are high. You have been very helpful & thank you very much. Let me know how you did on your test next week. I have added you to my prayer list. God bless Genie

I have an auto immune pancreas. My stools were 15-20 a day, all colors, and fat rings around them. My stool test showed enzyme level of 15 and normal is 200. That's why I was put on pancreatic enzymes (Creon) I lost 18lbs and eat like a horse, but didn't have the enzymes to help me digest. Today I had a repeat stool test and blood work to see if I am any better. How did you make out with your doctor appointment. You must have a problem with your pancreas, or your levels wouldn't be so high! Sure hope they can help you. I also put you on my prayer list. Good luck! Louise
