questions about enzimes

[Guest guest]

HI!!!

I am for a long time wanting to ask some questions about

enzimes...but usually I am too lazy to think in english...but I

decided to do it this year...

First I have a question of what is a snack...I mean...the GI doc

said to give 1 creon 5 w/ snack and 2 w/ meals....So I give 2 creons

3 times a day and the rest 3 times 1....well...sometimes his snacks

are like a lot of cheese pizza and a 5 oz bottle...I give him just 1

cap than...and since his stools a really hard I don't think it is

wrong...but then I was thinking.....for lunch he eats sometimes just

veggies and fruits...comparing w/ pizza and the bottle I would think

that just 1 cap would be ok...what do u think??

....well...he was taking just 1 cap for each meal when he was about 4

months...one day I thought he had oil stools, more bowel movement

that day and softer, we call the GI doc and they told us to give 1.5

cap...later...when he was about 8 months I thought he had oil stools

again...so we gave 2 caps...at about 10 months I thought it

again...and the nurse at call told us to give 2.5 w/ every

meal....well at the next appointment the doc said he was taking too

much enzimes and what I thought it was oil/soft stools was just

something that he ate ( probably carrots and sweet potato coz of the

color)...So I was thinking that maybe the right amount of enzimes

would be 1 caps even w/ his meal. what do u think?? there is any

test the doc can do to see if he is taking too many enzimes??

last question....I give him the enzime before his meal...and so he

will eat for 1 hour or a little bit more...he eats a lot,

remember...is it ok?? He has hard stools so I think the enzimes are

working for the whole time.

.....last question...ok...I said that before

Now I know he's never had grease stools...but if he has one how will

I know?? The doc said it smells really strong. Is it really

different from the normal bad stool smell?? Any tip of how to know

one when I see it??

sorry for the long post

I wish a HAPPY NEW YEAR to everybody...thanks for all the help u all

gave to me these last 2 months...love u all!!!

And all my prayers to Becki, Savannah and Natalia.
