How many Pancrecarb 8 a day?

[Lety]

My daughter has been taking Creon since she was diagnosed almost 2 years ago and lately she has been having tummy aches and bad greasy bowel movements. The nutritionist wants her to start taking Pancrecarb 8 instead of Creon 12. My question is how many Pancrecarb a day can I give her? With Creon the max is 16 capsules a day, but with Pancrecarb she said the max is 25. That sounds like a lot to me but I just want to make sure we are doing the right thing. My daugther is 37 pounds and her BMI is 33. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

DS is on pancrease mt 10s, but this summer in the hospital was on pancreacarb 8s. He took/takes 7 enzymes with meals and 2-4 with snacks. He's 6 years old.

With the greasy stools and tummy aches it does sound like she needs more enzymes. I wouldn't worry so much about her taking too many it takes a HECK of a lot of enzymes before they have issues in regards to too many enzymes.

My son started out on Ultase, but switched to Pancrecarb MS-8 when he was about 3. He is now 11, weighs 68 pounds, and takes 7 with meals, and 5 with snacks. So, he can easily take 36 or more a day. I have never really concerned myself with how many he takes a day. I just try to make sure he does not take more than he needs for what he is eating. Also, at parties where food is being served buffet style and people tend to 'graze' all day instead of eat a meal and be finished, I always make sure he takes his enzymes and eats right away,,,then waits a couple of hours before eating again so he's not taking enzymes every hour on the hour.

My daughter is 4 1/2 and she takes Pancrecarb MS16. She used to take the 8's but we switched when she had to take more. She takes 2 w/ meals/Boost and 1 with snacks. (so the 8's would be 4 w/ meals, 2 w/ snacks.) She is about 33 lbs. I would say she gets equivalent to about 20 8's per day.

They did say at one of her previous visits that she was taking too many. So we had to lower it somehow and we decided to giver her just one with most foods as she doesn't usually eat so much. It's when she drinks the boost that her BMs get oily, so we still give her 2 of them.
