What's the difference between digestive enzymes otc and creon? my doctor said i can take it for bloating from gasroperesis.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Beano/Creon: Over the counter ( OTC) Digestive Enzymes, like Beano, are natural food enzymes that break down complex sugars in gassy foods, making them more digestible and less gassy. On the other hand, Creon (Pancrelipase), is a pancreatic enzyme. It contains a combination of lipase, amylase, and protease. It breaks down fats, protein, and starch in your small intestine.
