Ok so here goes. For the longest time my digestion was fine, with the occasional exception of missing my pills when I was younger and having the explosive orange oil come visiting. Many years ago, I noticed no matter when or how many enzymes I took, unless I was eating something totally low in/free of fat, I would have the booty orange oil. After a few weeks of this on my next visit I told my doc, and he said that our bodies are highly acidic, and it's probably too much stomache acid messing up the enzymes ability to do their job, or something similar explanation wise to this, but it focused on the acid. So he gave me prevacid to take once a day. Up untill I got on zithromax, and hearing that antacids in general can screw up many other drugs unless you space them out, prevacid at times was skipped/forgotten about in favor of the "more important drugs".
I have been on Lipram Ul 20 for a long time. They are the generic of Ultrase MT 20. Well apparently the FDA wanted all makers of generic enzymes to prove they work by doing testing and crap, which was very expensive, so basically most if not all of the generic producers of these enzymes said bye bye and no longer make those products. So now I am on Ultrase MT 20 name brand. I don't think I have ever had booty oil this bad before. Today was the second day I woke up and found my sport boxers saturated in the stuff (happened in my sleep). Which I can never remember happening before. I don't do anything purposely stupid like eat crisco and drink grease, and during the week my diet is pretty normal with emphasis on protein for the gym.
So I guess I am asking, should there be that big of a difference in effectiveness between a generic and a name brand? I was having problems with the booty oil for maybe 2 weeks before going onto the name brand. Between my sinus crap, my phantom bleeds, all the diagnostic tests to figure out whats going on, and recently almost breaking my toe, I seriously don't need another CF related chronic problem to pop up.
So anyone else have any probs similar to mine giving the circumstances?
