Re: Re: Colgans clinic visit/LIPASE and enzymes/Ashauna

[Guest guest]

I am looking at my bottle of Pancrease MT 16 (that last number signals

the number of thousant usp units of lipase):

Lipase: 16,000 units

Amylase: 48,000 units

Protease: 48,000 units

In most of the enzyme combinations, the number of usp units of lipase

is one-third that of protease and amylase---for whatever reason

There are no other enzymes added, such as lactase, betalain, etc.

Lactase would cause diarrhea in a person who was NOT lactose (milk

sugar intolerant), so that is why it is not included. I actually had a cf

doc

tor who was sure that lactase was included--probably did not due to

well at chemistry in college!

You can look them all up on the web:

Creon

Ultrase (has numbers as does Pancrease)

Generic Lipram is equivalent to one of the formularies of Ultrase

Pancrecarb, which includes sodium bicarbonate; some people take

that with another enzyme supplement.

Love to all at cfparents, Enzymaticly yours,
