Louise Maria Stolz, Cincinnati:

I am a 27 year old female and I have chronic pancreatitis for more than 14 years. This disease is really nasty and it is difficult to learn how to live with it. I have tried many different medications during all this time and I know something about them. They can not be divided simply into good and bad ones. Some of them are good but only for a while and then you develop addiction and your body stops reacting to the drug. Others produce unbelievable side effects like loss of vision, insomnia or skin irritation. Still others seem to be good but not effective enough. I have experienced all types of side effects and complications. For a while I was dropping weight very fast. Lost more than thirty pounds in one month. That was all because of my stomach being unable to digest anything at all and I was constantly vomiting or lying on my bed being unable to move from stomach pain. I couldn't go to the local store to buy some stuff nothing to say about working in a normal mode. Then my doctor put me on Pancrelipase and life got much better. It was no longer impossible for me to work and I could eat certain types of food. I gradually brought my menu back to the habitual pattern and now my pancreatitis creates considerably less problems for me than when on other medications. I love vegetables so much, but due to unpredictable body reactions I had to exclude them from my diet. Now I can eat almost anything and have no vomiting or pain in stomach area. In other words, Pancrelipase is the best medication among those I have tried myself.

Brian Gramshold, NY:

Pancrelipase is the best medicine for Chronic pancreatitis. I can say this for sure as I have spent more than 20 years with this disease. It is really extremely unpleasant. And it is equally dangerous not to provide proper treatment on a regular basis and to provide treatment with improper medications that do not suit you. We all are individuals and there is not a single medication that is equally accepted by all people. Some have side effects, others have no effect at all, still others have extremely acute reaction to mild drugs. We have to test in order to find a drug that will bring not only relief but also no harm. With Pancrelipase I got all these and also belief in better life. It is much easier for me to cope with my illness when I know I have the reliable drug on me. Pancreatitis is a horrible disease and it can even lead to death but for me it is important to know that I am doing all I can to stay with my kids as long as possible and give them everything I want to. Pancrelipase provides me with hope that I will manage to accomplish all my plans. Besides I can also enjoy a better level of living as my menu is noticeably richer and varied with the medication. I can eat meat and not only fish as before, I do not have to eat tasteless food every 2-3 hours, I can eat three times a day as ordinary people. I can even indulge myself into a little bit of sweet stuff or some fruits. I'm happy with this drug and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Oscar Trenton, Colorado Springs:

I am a 39 year old male and my diagnosis is cystic fibrosis. Until the age of 35 I had to take just mild medications aimed to improve my digestion. I had occasional diarrhea attacks but that was not too annoying. However with time the attacks got more frequent and difficult to suppress. So I had to go to my doctor and ask for a stronger medication that would help me keep my fibrosis under control. He prescribed me with Pancrelipase and I am absolutely happy with the med. It provides me complete relief and significantly improves digestive processes. I had a slight weight a swing at the very beginning of treatment but then I corrected my diet and things got back to normal. I have no more diarrhea, neither any stomach ache. Besides I haven't noticed any side effects, except for the weight gain. But it was easy to cope with, so I consider it to be the fitting-in stage. I would advise other people with similar diagnosis to try out Pancrelipase, it is really an excellent solution.
