By the way, I think the question here should be:



"How many enzymes can you take without water?" lol I know pill swallowing is a special skill of mine...it freaks my boyfriend out. He's such a wuss about medications.</end quote></div>

I think I'd win. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> When I was younger and had tons of GI problems, I would take about 15 cotazyme per meal with no water. I started out on a lower dose but I just kept needing more and more.

Nowadays I just take 2-3 Ultrase MT20 per meal. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Chris takes 10-12 Creon 20 with meals, and 4-5 with snacks (varying it depending on fat content, etc). He takes them all with no water/liquid - ever!

Our monthly rx for Creon 20 is 1530 pills... the pharmacists always give us an amazed look. I'm amazed at how few some of you take - ever since I've known Chris when he was 16, he has had to take a minimum of 8-10 with meals.
