Hey Doctor, I’ve Been Taking These Digestive Enzymes For A
Question: Hey doctor,
I’ve been taking these digestive enzymes for a while now; https://www.houston-enzymes.com/enzymes/trienza/
I take two tablets with each meal, however after taking them for a while it’s got me wondering if they are indeed safe to take long term? Can these be dangerous to pancreas/gallbladder/liver etc in any way with the amount I’ve been taking? I’ve been having problems with my gallbladder and I find they help but I am still having pain especially this ache in the upper right side of my abdomen, could this be related to these enzymes in any way? I was reading the side effects of them here; https://www.rxlist.com/consumer_digestive_enzymes_zenpep/drugs-condition.htm#
One of them lists “fluid in the gallbladder” could this actually be causing or at least making my gallbladder/digestive problems worse? Should I stop taking them and see what happens? I’ve been through two bottles so far of 90 tablets each so about a couple of months now.
