Bad Pain Last Night- And Returning To Work

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

My 24/7 gnawing pain has always been about a 3 on a 1-10 scale. I

was actually feeling pretty good the last few days. Then yesterday,

for the first time, I took some pancreatin, enzyme supplement and I

began to get increasing pain.

By bedtime it was a 7 scale pain that was on my left flank, under my

ribcage and felt like it was going into the left side of my chest.

First time I felt it like that.

Woke up today with it better, but then again, I have not eaten

anything.

I am supposed to go back to work Saturday. I work every other

saturday at a spa. I'm afraid of the physical activity, and I never

know what i will feel like in the morning

Eileen,

Some people have noticed discomfort when they first started enzyme

supplements. I personally didn't have any problems when I first

started on Ultrace MT-20 enzymes, which are an enteric coated capsule

(with tiny microbeads inside of the capsule) type of enzyme. But

months later, when I tried Creon enzymes, I did experience very strong

discomfort after many days of trial use, so I went back to the

Ultrace. I later learned that several people had experienced the same

type of pain and discomfort for the first several weeks that they were

on Creon, but that this eventually went away as their body became

accustomed to them, and they found them very effective for their

digestion.

I'm on a different enzyme now, called Viokase-16's, and these are the

type that you have to take an antiacid, (proton pump inhibitor), with

first before taking the enzymes. Your discomfort MAY have been caused

by the Pancreatin, or maybe not. The only way to really find out is

to try taking them again, before you eat something. I haven't tried

this enzyme myself, but do know that Karyn and some of the

other members use them, and are very happy with the results.

So, your pain may have been from that, or it may have just been " one

of those days " .....

With love, hope and prayers,
