Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 >>> Has anyone tried the Creon 10 prescribed enzymes? Is it scd legal? I don't know if these are SCD approved or not. When asking, remember to ask if the enteric-coating is SCD appropriate as well. Creon is an older pancreatic enzyme product and does work. However, pancreatic enzymes only work in the small intestine. Pancreatic enzymes are destroyed by stomach acid and so are enterically coated to protect them until they get to the small intestine (less acid). If you have really gut problems the enteric coating might be irritating to the gut, and might not release immediately. The advantage of the plant derived enzymes that most over-the-counter enzyme products contain is that they are active in the stomach as well as the small intestines. This means they can be digesting food in the stomach a good 60 minutes or more BEFORE the food enters the small intestines and becomes a possible candidate for absorption or food for adverse pathogens. But if plant-derived enzymes are not an option for you for whatever reason, pancreatic ones are worth considering. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
