pancreatic enzymes in colitis?
Anyone know of any research on giving mom pancreatic enzymes to help
babies with bloody stools despite mom attempting an elimination diet? I found one study from 1999 in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology & Nutrition but it had a whopping 4 patients and is nearly 10 years old. It would seem sensible to follow this up with a stronger study but I haven't found anything. I have a patient with this problem and though part of the problem may have been not giving the elimination diet sufficient time to work, would be interested in this possibility. As I suspect it would involve a battle to get the enzymes covered (I believe they're a pretty expensive drug) I would need to have some evidence to back me up.
