pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (pert)

Are there any side effects of PERT in children?

While PERT is generally well-tolerated, some children may experience side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances, including nausea, bloating, and constipation. Rarely, high doses of enzymes can lead to fibrosing colonopathy, a condition that causes inflammation and scarring of the colon. It's crucial to monitor for any adverse effects and communicate with healthcare providers to adjust the therapy as needed.
