Lypo Gold for Fat Digestion,240 Capsules

There is a national (& continuing) shortage of Creon, & rationing. This product is pricy, but as far as I am able to tell (differing units) It has similar amounts of enzymes. IE no point in buying a cheaper product with less in & with bulk fillers. It's vegetable rather than animal based. AFAIK Vegetable based products have not been tested / approved for prescription. Also doesn't state if it's coated to survive stomach acid to reach the gut. Don't care, works for me when short of prescribed medication.

All good

Awful! Doesn’t work for me

Please listen: LYPO GOLD is DANGEROUS. I now wonder what all the good reviews here even mean. I am considering submitting a request for testing inquiry and even legal action as I spent months in pain and my insurance was charged 30K for all the tests my gastro did. The pain. mysteriously disappeared when I stopped taking this. When I restarted this supplement after long hiatus this year I realized the effect is undeniable and horrible. This company should be having a class-action lawsuit against them. I first ordered this supplement on April 18, 2020. Reading all the good reviews, I looked forward to reaping the effects of this enzyme. I do not eat too much fat, the normal amount I guess. Sowmtimes more, like with bread and butter, pasta or burger. But in the past I had some issues processing fat, would get acne and itchy scalp. Also, I had my gallbladder removed and this supplement claims to remove the discomfort of fatty foods but also to reduce cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health if taken on an empty stomach. I did not have elevated cholesterol but felt with the 40s, it might just happen. I took this as needed, sometimes with food and sometimes on empty stomach. It was part of my routine. Soon after starting this supplement, I started having issues: Pain in the upper quadrant with foods, bloating, burning lava-like pain (not heartburn or acid reflux) and diarrhea mixed with constipation. At some point, I started having pain even after drinking water. Now, I absolutely did not connect the dots. I thought I developed some new medical issues. Forward couple more months to Fall and I was now regularly avoiding food, for fear of pain. Healthy dinners like meat and vegetables would be no relief. I did best on a bit of bread or crackers. However, I looked fat and bloated most days...I have apparently gained about 15-20lbs since starting this supplement even if I ate less and exercised as usual. On top of it, my annual physical suddenly showed highly elevated bad cholesterol. (never ever had I any bloodwork issues and also, my diet in fact is even better than ever to prevent any gall issues) I am waking up in the middle of the night with hot lava rocks sensation flowing in my abdomen, backaches all day, headaches, insomnia, heartburn, bloating like I was 8 months pregnant. Belching, farting....On top of it, one day I just started having spontaneous diarrhea, 5-10 times a day, yellow oily stools, and all lasting for weeks. I got so worried (I never have diarrhea) and I went to see gastro...the best gastro in the area, a detective-like person, who does not give up easy. he said my stomach made sounds like there is always both liquids and gas. He did not understand why I had that hot lava burning as I did not in fact have heartburn or acid reflux...this was all deeper inside. But all tests come back normal, CT, MRCP, Ultrasound...endoscopy, colonoscopy. My pains pointed to the pancreas or liver but he ruled out any issues. Except now I have hemorrhoids from all that burning hell diarrhea and constipation. My doctor is at a loss. However he did tell me all these enzyme supplements are bogus marketing and very rarely do any of us here (unless malnourished) need any absorption help. He recommended just a basic bromelain enzyme that helps with fiber digestion and told me to stop all else as I am wasting my money. Though he could never predict it was this that was making me so sick. After lack of diagnosis and a couple thousand dollars hole in my pocket for all the procedures to investigate, I just gave up and decided to live with this pain...slowly it subsided. I got my energy back and was able to restart more normal life. Recently I realized, wait I have no issues anymore, what a mystery... Well, recently another bottle of Lypo gold arrived as for some reason I was on auto delivery, so I immediately canceled that and requested a return as I still had an unused bottle. Either way, I recalled that I had that elevated cholesterol last year and that maybe I should restart this lypo gold again because I have not taken any enzymes for a while...and they are supposed to be good for you :-) I kinda did not belive the doctors warning that it is all unnecessary. Well, I took it for couple days...and felt physically ill immediately. Again, I did not connect the dots because it was fairly mild, like bloating and a little burn. Then one day I took it again, with my meal and about 20 mins later, I am in severe pain, my stomach on fire, had to cancel work meeting, flaring back pain, could not get rid of this for hours. Had to walk it off, as sitting was unbearable and nothing helped. I drank ice water, tried ACV water, tried pepcid ac...it took about 5 hours to subside. I was slamming the food for the bad feeling but then....it dawned on me. What changed in the past week? What did I do differently today? I took LYPO GOLD....after months of no issues, this was now clear as day. LYPO GOLD is making me so violently and mysteriously unwell anytime I take it. I tested this couple more times since...just for the benefit of making an unbiased review....and then I started reading the one-star reviews here...and found an uncanny similarity. LYPO GOLD is DANGEROUS I am considering submitting a request for testing or inquiry and legla action as I spent countless days and nights in pain and my insurance was charged 30K for all the test my gastro did and still haven't found any physical issue.

This is nothing more than cellulose, which is fiber. It did not have an ingredient list on line or I would NOT have bought it. It is similar to metamucil and other such products. It does not absorb bile salts. It absorbs waters in the stomach to make you feel fuller. I can't return it! WASTE OF $70!!!! Don't waste your money. Cholestrymine prescription medication is a bile acid sequestrant, it binds to the bile salts in the intestines where it gets dripped from the liver and pancreas. If you have issue speak to your doctor about a better option than this garbage. There are no bile benefits from this, it's just fiber! Doesn't give you energy, doesn't absorb bile, ingredient is just cellulose and water, no pain relief, nothing but fiber. Can I say it again, DON'T waste your money!
