Update…I am having better results with taking 2 zenpep with every meal. I have abdominal cramping that will bring you to your knees if I just take one with a meal. Snacks too.
I was trying to see if one per meal would work…NOPE! The cramping and diarrhea is better controlled with 2 zenpep with every meal and snack. It’s expensive and I was trying to be judicious and thrifty.
Ahh yes, I admit that the dr was right. She had recommended 2 with meals and she was right! Sometimes my thriftiness can work against me, but those of you on Medicare understand completely!
It’s a journey for sure ever since 1982, that’s how long I have “limped” along after I was misdiagnosed for so many years. Y’all, please don’t give up searching for answers. It’s taken far too many years to receive answers because it mimics IBS-D.
There are NO perfect answers or meds. Zenpep isn’t a cure, and I have to take it for the rest of my life, but it will allow me some longevity and quality of life.
Those of us with EPI just have to take the enzymes, track every mouthful, and exercise.
Sounds simple, huh!?! All the while dealing with people misunderstanding what we have to deal with! People seem to take it so personally when you can’t eat their foods and especially desserts!
I’m hopeful though, and thankful for every new day. Those of us that struggle with EPI and it’s consequences are gastro warriors,
I don’t know about y’all, but for me I rather be n old gastro warrior than to succumb to giving up. There are still so many hugs, and adventures to come and I don’t want to miss any of it.
Take that Monday morning!
I’m here, I’m determined, and I’m NOT giving up! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️
