Problems with enzymes such as Ultrase MT(s)?

The title just pretty much states it. I have been taking Ultrase MT20's for quite a while now, about 5 years...

All of a sudden I have had problems with them. If you guys remember I had posted a topic about me having stomach problems. Well we had researched it and the problem was, my enzymes. Now whenever I take my enzymes I get the effect of when I do not take them.. (diaherreah, stomach aches etc..). Has this happened to any of you? Now when I do not take them, I gain weight and am normal... Does anyone think my pancrease is reversing? Does this happen to any of you? Please respond if so.

Good Afternoon,
I have found that some enzymes after being shipped are no good. It probably is due to the med's getting too hot. Heat activates the enyme and makes it no good (if its not in you - of course). I always make the pharmacy keep them in the original bottles - they wanted to count them (why bother when they are already in measured counts ?!)
Make sure your enzymes don't sit in a hot car or in sunlight.
You can return unopened containers to the pharmacy for new ones, in most cases.

It might be the Ultrase just won't work for you anymore. I've had to switch brands a coulple times in the past because of that. And just for the record, when i tried ultrase, I did absoluetely nothing for me. =-) You'd think it wouldn't matter as long as they're pancreatic enzymes, but I guess not.

Oh, i just understood the last part... I've never had it where I digested better without taking enzymes. That's weird.
