Chronic Pancreatitis
My mother has chronic pancreatitis. Her weight is constantly reducing.. please help !
1. She was given external enzymes which are bovine based and she suffered a very bad allergic reaction with swelling all over her body. She has had pork earlier in life... But never had any reaction.
2. After meeting many gastro doctors, today she met one more who recommended her to try Enzar tablets. He said that you had taken enzyme capsules earlier and hence it could also be a reaction due to gelatin coating of the capsule. Can this be the case of allergy ? Can her allergic reaction be tested somehow before she consumes the newly recommended tablet ?
3. Also in the market, Enzar tablet is not available. Only Enzar Forte is available. Is Enzar and Enzar forte the same .. or is their a difference ?

Enzar forte has higher dose and can be taken.
To check for ALLERGY one way is to give a small part of tha tablet or capsule or its constituents. And slowly increased dose or part of it can be given on daily basis.
This way even if any ALLERGY occurs at small dose it wont cause any serious problem.
