Insomnia

[kenmbz]

I've been taking enzymes since September 2005 (Zenpep). I have the same problem with my pancreas.

Elavil is not a sleeping pill. Read about it, they use it for many things, including sleep problems.

How do you balance food against enzymes?
I find it difficult and end up just not eating when I have to travel somewhere.
I took zenpep and now am using creon, which seems to work better for me. I did hear that for some people one or the other works better and they have no idea why.

I am kinda scared of taking any more pills, as it seems my pancreas fail was due to a medicine I was taking to lower my cholesterol. An unlisted side affect which has led to permanent damage.

I take 1 for a tiny snack and 2 for a little larger one. 4 for a lighter dinner and 5 for a larger one. They work fine for me, like I said, 20 years now.

I carry a prescription bottle in my pocket for eating at Mickey D's or other.

I have take 7 other pills, but no problems .

I tried that, but most of the time I am just in too much pain. Balancing how much I take is not going well.
I don't eat fast food or fried stuff, I don't think all the pills in the bottle would help me with that.
I get overwhelmed easily and have just stopped eating a lot of different foods. I never really ate fast food to start with.
Glad it's working for you, so some hope for me.

I have to be careful with saturated animal fats, because my gall bladder was removed. Now over the last 5 years I can eat little more fatty foods. I don't want to each much, but I want some variety.

My pancreas doesn't give me any pain. Before my gall bladder operation I had 24 hour pain, because it was inflamed and the idiot specialists couldn't figure it out.
