Diagnosed with moderate/severe EPI, not sure if Zenpep working.
I have taken my zenpep two 60 000 capsules per meal and one per snack as directed for almost 2 weeks. I make sure to take it with the first bites of food. Some days it seems to work as I feel generally better and less fatigued I’ve gained a few pounds. My stool is still mushy on some days it’s brown but recently it’s back to being orange colored and I poked at it and saw my previous day lunch again barley digested. Idk what I’m doing wrong. I do drink coffee but not with every meal. I sometimes have whey protein but wasn’t diagnosed as lactose intolerant. Why am I not having solid brown stool? I do take magnesium doc says this isn’t an issue. Should I switch to Creon instead of zenpep? I read zenpep had better reviews so I tried that first. I’m scared. My abdomen ultrasound came back normal. But my pancreatic elastase was so low, but the looks of my stool it doesn’t seem to be that much different or better. At first it seemed more brown instead of orange but now back to orange. HELP I’m only 28 and terrified. It may be unrelated but I’ve been struggling with an awful acne issue only on my chest and neck that refuses to clear up unless I’m actively taking antibiotics OR in a dry desert state. I’m a clean person I don’t get it. I don’t eat fast food.
