Hi Laura, I take 2 adeks/daily, and 3 when I'm sick. My doc also perscribed an axtra 10,000 units (1 pill) of vitamin A a day.

Only one ADEK a day for me. Blood work has always looked good.

Edited to add: I have to pay for ADEK's my self, insurance won't cover them.

I am supposed to take two ADEK's a day, but I will admit I don't always. The vitamins are so much money that I just don't buy them that much.

I am going to try to be better about taking them, I was going to get them free through that Ultase program, but I couldn't handle switching enzymes. The only ones that work for me are the Pancrease MT 20s...

Do you guys have to pay for your own as well, or are you in a program?

I havent started taken them yet, but I was given ADEK to take in my last clinical visit. They told me to take two a day. I'm still taking everything separate right now (multi vit, vit k, vit e). Does anyone know if you can take both ADEK at the same time or do u split them up? I would like to take them both at the same time, its easier for me to remember.

I think two a day is the norm. I also take vitamin A and calcium suppliments, as they just discovered i have a bit of osteoporosis as of late. I'm not really surprised though cause I've always had issues with my vitamins, and my diet isn't the greatest.

So um, take your vitamins <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

I guess that's just me though. I am very bad at taking preventative measures to better my health. I usually just tend to deal with issues as they come along or prove to be serious. I guess that's my procrastinative self <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">
