the higher the strength in enzyme-the more damage you have?

Hi! I was just wondering a lot about enzymes. I take 5 creon 20's for a meal, and my brother takes 4. That seems like a lot to me, and I bloat <b>SO</b> much. I wonder if that could mean I'm taking too many or too high of a strength? Have you ever had to adjust your enzymes, then didn't have as much bloat? I'm sure my tummy won't ever go away..seems like it's just a cf thing. lol! But it doesn't hurt to wonder<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Also, I was thinking about how certain people can have such different dosage amounts. Is it the higher the strength you have, the more your pancreas is plugged up with mucus?

I'm not sure how they figure out the dosage, I only take 3 ultrase with meals, but its a different drug. It may have to do with weight but I'm not sure about that. I would ask your doctor if he thinks you should adjust the dose. As far as the bloating, I think that's just a cf thing, but I would mention it if your concerned.

They generally base amount of enzymes on weight plus how you're stools are doing. I myself take 9 Ultrase MT 20's with every meal...I weigh around 185 lbs. though.

On order to establish thr right dosage the doctors take a stool sample to check for grease traces (mainly, but also undigested stuff) )in the stool and they increse the enzyme dosage untill the stool comes "clean".
I take 56.000 UI of lipase, meaning 7 capsules of Cotazym ECS 8.
