Dr. Clark Pancreatin 8X Enzyme Supplement 500mg | Several Digestive Aids Formulas Promotes Proteins, Fat | Carbohydrates Healthy Supports Optimal Digestion - 100 Gelatin Capsules

I have VHL (google pls, too much to explain) and a received a whipple surgery to remove a neuroendocrine tumor on my pancreas in 2015.Since then, I have been prescribed CREON/ZENPEP. Getting these prescribed at a reasonable cost through insurance is hell on earth. I have used a few substitutes, but this one by far has worked the best!No more taking 10 plus enzyme pills with each meal (example: the NOW brand)! I was originally prescribed CREON 24,000 UI and was taking four pills per meal. With Zenpep I was prescribed 60,000 UI and three per meal.With this brand, I only take three per meal and maybe one or two depending on the snack I have (fries for example I’ll take 1 or 2 depending on how much I eat) I’m really happy to find this at such a reasonable cost. I wish the Creon manufacturers weren’t so greedy and lower the cost of the medication. For a 30 day supply without insurance it’s about $3000.No more crazy digestion issues! My first week of taking these, I was slightly constipated, but now that it’s not an issue.

Good

I like it is free of unwanted elements. I like it is only 1 capsule per dose. High amount of enzymes is great.

Saves me money over the prescribed meds.

I use this product for EPI, ENDOCRINE PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY. If you have a sick pancreas, not for cancer, just if your doctor says you have like pancreatitis , this product helps stomach with enzyme insufficiency. Take before eating,during eating or snacking is what I do. SThis product was less but the product amount in each pill was very similar. Around forty dollars per bottle is a lot because a bottle lasts me about every two weeks. Look up stomach problems and see what may help you. Look at the Pancan.org this thing can make your life miserable but these days I feel a person has to get out there and hunt for answers. I do see a gastric internist now. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don’t stop except to rest then continue to search for abetter life.

For years I've suffered the day after eating certain meals, particularly anything with red meat, pasta, or any heavy carbohydrates. The next day was almost always a combination of nausea, loss of appetite, belching, upset stomach, reflux, sensitive gag reflex, frequent trips to the bathroom with loose stools.A pharmacist recommended this product to me over dinner one night after I mentioned I'd be paying for my indulgence tomorrow and offered it to me. I could not believe it the next day when I was perfectly fine.It has dramatically improved my quality of life. I no longer live in constant fear of what my stomach will feel like tomorrow. Sure there are still times my stomach doesn't feel great, but it has been a dramatic difference. I went from having a minimum of 3 loose bowel movements a day to one solid one every morning. Nearly all of my frequent GI symptoms have greatly improved.I can't recommend this product enough. It's worth every penny and worth a try if you are having issues similar to what I've described.

Good strong Pancreatin 8x WITHOUT FILLERS!!!!! and at a fraction of the cost of Throne Research Dipan-9. I had to take twice as much Dipan-9 to get the same effect I get with this product or with Source Naturals Pancreatin 8x. Source Naturals is cheaper but has fillers which aggravated my digestive problems. Dr Clark's is free of fillers so I only get help so it's worth paying a few dollars more for a clean product that does what it's supposed to without the side effects from unnecessary fillers!Updated September 2016: I am still using this happily using this product. I have IBS-D caused by SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) which causes bloating starting 15 minutes after eating anything with carbs no matter how low on the FODmap scale they are. Pancreatic enzymes reduces this problem and Dr Clark's is the strongest I have found. I had to take 2 or 3 of the other brands to get the same amount of relief one this product gives me. My situation is severe enough no product totally stops the horrible painful bloating but it allows me to eat enough carbs to keep going while trying to find a better treatment. Vegetarian enzymes don't help me the way the animal pancreatin does with most making the situation *worse*. I presume it is because by the vegetarian enzymes having more ways to break down the carbohydrates makes it not only more available for my own body to absorb but the accursed overgrowth to feast and ferment even more.

Great product , bought another bran to save money while I wish this was cheaper it actually works ..
