I agree Erika~It is an interesting and stimulating conversation for me as well.

It does not surprise me that your symptoms did not improve with supplementation. Although in the end, the evidence may prove to you that you are indeed lacking these enzymes, I don't believe you will effectively be able to heal your GI tract (including your pancreas) through supplements. In fact, I think much of the evidence will show that taking supplements of nutrients that you have lost the ability to metabolize could be very detrimental.
