I need your help with a post from someone not on this group

[Guest guest]

Hey all you nurses and everyone else out there ...I could use your help. I have

a person who wrote to me on the top5plus5 forum and I am unsure how to answer

him. Could anyone who can answer this question please go there and post a

response to him.....thanks in advance...his message is as follows:

Thanks for your prompt answer.I have been over 10 years on the enzyme substitute

Creon, and find that the effectiveness has diminished. As a result i have a lot

of " bacteria overgrowth " which is the undigested food. That o vergrowth causes

awful sideeffects. The only way it can be treated according to my doctors here

is thru constant use of anti biotics. I have been on and off all kinds of anti

biotics since last year. They help to a certain extend but of course it is

something serious to do. Is it possible that the creon loses its effectiveness,

is there a maximum amount you are allowed to take, should I up the dosage? Is

there something else to enable the digestion BEFORE it turns into undigested

bacteria? I have tried diets, I am off gluten which made it worse but don't seem

to find a way off the antibiotics. Can the creon cause my weight gain, although

I don't eat much?

Thanks for your help! Sincerely,

Rivka
