Without it you will have malabsorption. We have experimented in our case with Creaon. She has been told to take 2 per meal. She takes 4 per big meal and less for a snack. Experiment with it and find the optimal dose. No doctor can tell you exactly how many you need. Your body will determine it. Listen to your body.
