Does anyone know how *increased* lipase might fit into all of this? Soon after going completely gluten free, I began experiencing increased lipase levels accompanied by symptoms. No one knows why, exactly, but ther were not related to pancreatitis b/c the amylase levels were unaffected. Both are regulated by the pancreas...and reading these excerpts I think there's a connection...I just am missing something.

(Yes...I want ALL the answers, LOL)

I'd like to add to orthomoleculars comments that drs are hesitant to prescribe anything without clear cut reasons. My dr did reccomend enzymes, creon (a prescription pancreatic enzyme) and when I told him the pharmacist reccomended a nutural food store b/c of the corn allergy issue, he was surprised to find there were OTC enzymes available. So part of it is also they just don't know whats out there that isn't being pushed by the drug reps.
