SP3: "Doctor Google"

 Have you been cussed out by whoever in the medical profession for having too much wasted fat in your system?

Consider:

Pancreatic insufficiency can contribute to diabetes,
to malabsorption of fats,
To low Vitamin D (and other fat-soluble vitamins)

Fixing it involves cussing out the patient for eating wrong or smoking.

The *patient* meanwhile, might seek over-the-counter remedies, only some of which make sense, like maybe a probiotic, especially one with "Lipase."

I'm not sure about "Creon", the overpriced med with lipase in it (mainly because it's so overpriced and the copay is astronomical)

To solve this economical tight-spot, a doctor might tell you that Creon is no longer necessary (beeecause??? You went to Lourdes or whatever)

But it's necessary (*Lipase* is necessary, just not the corsair-Omron-cadillac version)

In a better world, instead of replacing the stuff your pancreas no longer supplies, a smart med-guy would treat and "Fix" the pancreas (ok maybe not fix, but give it Bardahl or STP oil-treatment)

DIY meds:

The problem is the very wide swing in price

as maybe you can see in this tiny pic.
How many units of Lipase? Are they reputable?

Schiff Probiotic has changed their formula somewhat, As far as I know.
Lipase used to come from animals (didn't it?) and now it comes from a fungus (a fungus??!!)

You're kidding, it works again? But why??
