Hi RMM, Since you are giving 2 tsps of EnzymeDiane 6x per meal..... if you were stuffing the 6x enzymes into a regular gel coated capsules cap - my estimation is that you would need to give fill 6 capsules (size 00) to equal 1 tsp of 6x (i just tried this with some regular empty gel caps and the pow...

Re: How to use enteric coated capsules (Lypex)

Hi Kirsten and thanks for those questions..... and you are correct... it does sound very confusing. First... let me address your dog's loose stools....then i'll answer the questions. What you are describing sounds like SID/SIBO/Dysbiosis. ALL dogs with EPI have this... and it almost always repeatedl...

Re: Elvira, 10.5 month old GSD, recently diagnosed.

Hi Julie, i personally would not leave any food around for "free-feeding" opportunities just in case Elvira sneaks a bite or two throughout the day . WIth some dogs, ANY food that is not treated with enzymes will trigger loose stools.... and yet with some dogs, they can handle a little &qu...

Re: Hard stools

i too would not reduce the enzymes, but rather make sure she is drinking enough water, and maybe add some fresh veggies and fruit to the meals. ALso...as mentioned above, she might be getting too much bone if you changed the diet,,,,,,,

Re: Thanks and an update

thanks for the update Diane.... so sorry i am late to responding.....
This is great news and YES... it is amazing. SOmetimes when the B12 is low, no matter how many "right" things you do to manage the EPI, nothing will really work well until the B12 is taken care of!
