Thank you, Irish. That is helpful. I bought the NOW brand, "Pancreatin 10x - 200 mg," which I believe I found at Puritan Pride, but is likely available elsewhere as well.

Looks like I am going to need a lot of this stuff. I need a better-paying job with all the supplements I take!

I have to say, though... I've started to get reflux now that the diarrhea's stopped. Meh.   :-\

I just read through all the supplements that you are on and now I am wondering if there is something you are taking that could have been causing your GI issues. If you check many of the supplements they cause nausea, diarrhea quite often. The probiotics could be causing you issues. I can't take them every day as I get loose stools and that is what we are supposed to take it for. I have found that I can take them occasionally. Also, yogurt gives me GI upset if I eat it every day.

Probiotics work when there is an imbalance of bacteria and we need some bacterial growth kicked up a notch to control things. However, there are times when we can get an overgrowth of normal bacteria and this can cause gastric upset/nausea/diarrhea. Maybe a review of your supplements by someone would be worthwhile. Good luck Irish
