Then main ingredient from what I gather in Pangrol is pancreatin. For those of us in the U.S. you can get it here (I just ordered some)

Bit of background. I've been dealing with what I believe are CHS symptoms on and off for years, although very mild compared to most as my consumption is very low (Daily but <.1g vaped in the evenings.) 1/8 lasts me well over a month. I've had success in treating my digestive issues through healthy eating, enzymes, probiotics, exercise and another product also on amazon called "Restore" for gut health.

Bottom line, whether it's pangrol, pancreatin or other enzymes, I really think treating this as a digestive issue, and de-stressing using meditation/yoga/exercise and supplements like GABA can help greatly.
(I'm not a doctor nor have I consulted one regarding this but I do tons of research on this subject). While I can't call Pangrol or other enzymes a cure, I encourage everyone to try and report back. Enzymes have made a difference for me.

These are the enzymes I take as they seem to upset my stomach the least. The probiotics are really strong, 100 billion count. I don't think you can buy them online, I got them from my Naturopathic Doctor. But I would recommend these for starters. They are enteric coated meaning the capsule will not dissolve until it reaches the small intestine - which is what you want otherwise your stomach acid will kill all the friendlies. As for the other supplements, the quality does not vary as much so it's not such huge deal. But I have found food based vitamins to be easier on most people's stomachs (for these I take New Chapter). Vitamin D supplement does not really matter as long as it's D3. This is what I take for Omega-3. I would definitely recommend getting an animal based Omega-3 supplement over a plant based one. I forget the exact explanation but essentially your body has to convert ALA to DHA - and it apparently doesn't do this at a very efficient rate. I'm sure a google search will explain it a lot better than I can.
I wanted to find out what exactly causes my troubles before I talk to my doctor again.
I told the guys at the pharmacy about my problem and asked if they would sell me KREON without presc. and they did.
So after comparing the ingredients the constipation fades with a high lipase supplement. I don't get it because undigested fat should cause diarrhea.
Oh I found this on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Pancreatin-10X200-250-Capsules/dp/B000776KK0/ref=pd_sim_121_1?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B000776KK0&amp;pd_rd_r=KDVCET15CFHSXQHBWVNC&amp;pd_rd_w=7Vgya&amp;pd_rd_wg=5w0Wn&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=KDVCET15CFHSXQHBWVNC
This seems to be equivalent to CREON 4000, cause the number correlates to the units of lipase.
