I only know what the GI told us, I have done no research on this.

Our GI said that normal people have numbers in the 500's. That anything under 200 is considered pancreatic insufficient -- thus needing enzymes. MANY CFers hover closer to the 100 mark, though.

My dd is on enzymes, but her numbers were just over 200. I think in the 240's.
