Avoid too much fiber. Though it's usually part of a healthy diet, fiber can keep your pancreatic enzymes from digesting fat as well.

It is important that you take your enzymes with all other meals and snacks. What if I can't swallow them? You can open the capsules and mix the granules (without crushing) with an acidic fruit puree, such as apple sauce. You will need to swallow the mixture straight away, without chewing.
