Yes, that was what we were told. My daughter is 250 and we were told that technically she is sufficient, but will probably lose sufficiency as she is so close to the cutoff.

Food for thought:
My CF doctor told me that the high acidity of the stomach destroys digestive enzymes. He told me that in order to explain why pancreacarb has sodium bicarbonate in it -- that you need less of it if you buffer it with an alkaline substance. My son and I have both gotten off digestive enzymes. One of the things we have worked on a lot is getting excess acidity under control. I have recently wondered if that played more of a role than I thought in being able to get off digestive enzymes -- if one of the reasons pwcf need digestive enzymes is because we tend to be extremely acid and this high acidity may be burning up whatever enzymes our bodies are producing.
