RE: enzyme dosage and poop

[Guest guest]

We talked about this lately on the French list.

Of course the dosage is very individual and I wouldn't be concerned that

your kids need the same dosage. Now, I would be concerned if the stools are

very greasy and like Lori mentioned, 4-5 times a day.

What a mom found out on the French list, is that the enzymes brands vary.

Some brands just will suit you better . She was used giving one brand to her

child, she gave the maximum dosage of lipases and still, her child had 4 to

5 greasy stools a day and had stopped gaining weight for a few months. She

then switched to another brand, and, miracle, her child gained immediately

weight and his stools were OK...

Objet : Re: weight and enzyme dosage

I will be interested to see what others have to say. See my slightly

related email to the list a little while ago. I have to admit though I am

very envious of 's 43 pounds! That's terrific. And weighs

more than my seven-year-old son who doesn't have CF. Have they always taken

that kind of enzyme?
