I too was told no need for an enzymes with an apple (no fat I guess?)<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Edited to add: my sons doctor said too many enzymes can cause problems such as colon strictures but never mentioned anything about the pancreas or kidneys being affected. I learn something new on this site almost every day!
Next appt. we have to have a discussion about enzymes anyway, I think they need to be increased due to very poor weight gain and very light-colored, very bulky stools coming out the top and legs of the diaper. They're also very smushy, like sticky frosting instead of formed. The doctors are also worried about the weight issue (no gain in like 6 mos.) since he hasn't had problems with weight in the past and was always over the 50th percentile. But they don't want to increase his enzymes because they're not happening more frequently (not more than once a day) and they say he's already on a "pretty high dose for such a little guy". He takes 3 Creon 10's and weighs about 26 lbs. I'm sticking to my guns and think they should be increased, but they talked to me about the risk of stricture.
Sorry that sort of sent me off on a vent! Sorry to steal your thread!
