The mucus only happens when I take the Zenpep with every meal.
I now only take one Zenpep (40,000) with my evening meal.
The mucus is literally the lining of my colon and the painful cramping is next level difficult and no way to live.
I can live with 5-6 trips to the bathroom a day…
I can’t live with running to the bathroom 15 times a day…
There is no cure, just nutritional management and Zenpep in a dose that enables me to have as normal a life as is possible.
Anyone relate???

I feel for you! I was diagnosed with c-diff (intestinal infection I had for 5 months) and moderate pancreatic ensyme insuffiency. They prescribed Zenpep but I waited and they did a stool sample 2 weeks later and c-diff was gone and pancreatic enzymes were back to normal. My GI doctor told me I didn't need Zenpep and had me follow up with his NP because I still had diarrhea and she got angry with me and said I needed to follow the doctors orders and take the Zenpep! I reported her and did not take the Zenpep. So bizzarre...I am so weak from the pain and diarrhea and get confused with all of this stuff!
