I believe eating foods that are anti imflammatory is the ticket to success for all of us non cf and especially cf patients to keep our bodies as healthy as possible.

I believe this Enzyme has saved me from many problems.

The company who makes this enzyme is Metagenics. The product is called Azeo Pangeon.

I gained lots of weight with this one enzyme. I am only taking this one enzyme with each meal and if I eat anything with any kind of oil or meat, I increase to one and a half pills.

They crush easily and are easily digest well for me. My doctors approved this for me when I was in the ICU when I was not doing well. Once I was allowed to take my enzymes, I started to thrive and I was out of the ICU in a week after a long batte.

This enzyme has all the properties that all CF enzymes have from what I have seen but you need to be the judge of that.

I was first introduced to this line of supplements from a nutritionist.

From now on, I will stay on this product for as long as it works for me.

I hope u find the right one that works. By the way, with this supplement, I no longer need protonix. If enzymes are working well and the body is eating the right foods, I believe the body will become less acidic and it will move toward an alkaline balance.

Tiffany,

Is your daughter culturing anything in her sputum? My daughter weight really dropped off and she was malabsorbing as well when she started culturing CF bacteria in her sputum. Just a thought,. Also, my daughter uses a probiotic daily called Culturelle, this has really made a difference. We have her on Pancreacarb MS for enzymes(it has bicarb in it to keep stomache acid from breaking it down in the stomache) Of course, it is MUCH more expensive than Creon but also works alot better. My daughter is also on Zantac twice a day to help her enzymes work better. The other thing is we closely watch what my daughter eats, sometimes she eats SLOW so we may need to repeat enzymes ; or give her some enymes and a little more enzymes if she eats more than we think she would. Do you open the enzymes up in applesauce? My daughter started to absorb better when she swallowed the enzyme capsule whole when she was a little over 2. Again, it helps to swallow the capsule so the enzyme doesn't break down in the stomache but in the small intestine. We see a nutritionist every 3 months and she is great(our clinic is big on nutrition) Taking care of a child with CF really is overwhelming at times. You feel responsible for sooo much and half the time you are telling the docs what to do. I understand your frustation. HTH

I agree with Rebjane

Probiotics are very important. Always start of with a low dose at first so the body can adjust. Too much probiotic can cause diahrea.

Tiffany,
Our little girl is also 2 and has been having malabsorption issues for over a year. We see our CF team once a month, in addition to the GI doctor every 4-6 weeks. Your description sounded very similar to our daughter's situation. We even had a biopsy done a few months ago. After that came back negative she had a Hydrogen Breath Test to check for bacterial overgrowth (also known as SIBO). We founded out that is what has been causing the malabsorption. Her small intestines have bacteria growing in them. She had a meconium ileus when she was born and had surgery at 1 day old. About 2 weeks ago the doctors decided to have an upper GI barium x-ray done and found out that her small intestines are still dilated, which is where all that bacteria is growing. Did your daughter have a meconium ileus at birth? You may want to suggest the bacterial overgrowth to the GI doctor. Please let me know if I can help answer any questions! Leslie
