I don't know if I'm understanding correctly...the dosage of enzymes depends on how much they eat? My daughter will be starting them soon. I've also heard that zenpep is one of the best kinds. What happens if they just graze all day? What I mean by that is my daughter is always hungry but when she eats she only eats small amounts and then she's hungry again in a couple of hrs. She's eating small amounts all day most of the time.

I know some doctors who've limited people -- told them they're at their maximum; however, in my son's case it was always based on trial and error and we adjusted accordingly. His doctor never limited the number. As he began to eat more, we'd increase the amount by a capsule or two. Now that he's older, if we increase the number if he's going to eat something with a higher fat content -- pizza, french fries, popcorn...

It's interesting that people seem to be told different things. We've been told that there is a maximum recommended dosage, based on weight. We've been told not to exceed a certain number of enzymes per day, due to his weight. I'm wondering if that's specific to babies?
As his weight has increased, so has his maximum.
