Has anyone had success with enzymes helping with weight gain?

<P>Enzymes were a life saver for my two boys with CF also. My kids have both taken Creon enzymes since they were little but they just recently switched my 11 yr. old to Zenpep which is very similar to Creon. This helped with the "stinkiness" of his stools immediately as well as the greasiness. We can already see a difference in his weight but keep in mind he has a g-button also but I believe it helps with the absorption better than the Creon did. Good luck...</P>

YES. I have been severely pancreatic insufficient my whole life, and while I haven't been underweight since I hit puberty, I was always borderline. Last year I switched to Zenpep and almost immediately gained 5-8 pounds. Not only have I gained that weight and kept it on for 9+ months, but I haven't lost ANY weight even when really sick!

Yes! When I was a child, I had a real problem w/weight gain. Enzymes helped a lot. When I hitaround 20, didnt need them anymore, so I havent taken the new and improved version, but they were a life-saver as a child.
