"Since stomach acid can destroy proteolytic enzymes, the best formulas are “enteric coated” – meaning that the pills
have a coating around them to prevent the pill from being broken down in the stomach. An enteric-coated pill passes into the small intestine, where due to the pH change it will break down there" - See

By the third day after the operation, levels of C-reactive protein—a measure of inflammation—were threefold higher in the control group"

Gastric
Emptying, Incretin Hormone Secretion, and Postprandial Glycemia in Cystic
Fibrosis--Effects of Pancreatic Enzyme Supplementation - J Clin Endocrinol
Metab. 2011 Mar 9 - "CF patients consumed a radiolabeled mashed potato meal on 2
separate days, together with four capsules of Creon Forte (100,000 IU lipase) or
placebo. Healthy subjects consumed the meal once, without pancreatic enzymes.
Main Outcome Measures: Gastric emptying was measured using scintigraphy, and
blood was sampled frequently for blood glucose and plasma glucagon-like
peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and
glucagon concentrations. Results: CF patients had more rapid gastric emptying (P
< 0.001), impaired secretion of GLP-1 (P < 0.01) and GIP (P < 0.001), and
greater postprandial glycemic excursions (P < 0.001) than healthy subjects.
Pancreatic enzyme supplementation normalized gastric emptying and GLP-1
secretion and tended to increase glucagon (P = 0.08), but did not completely
restore GIP secretion or normalize postprandial blood glucose. There was an
excellent correlation between gastric emptying and blood glucose concentration
at 60 min (R = 0.75; P = 0.01). Conclusions: Pancreatic enzyme supplementation
plays an important role in incretin secretion, gastric emptying, and
postprandial hyperglycemia in CF" - See

Drug therapy of activated arthrosis. On the effectiveness of an enzyme mixture versus diclofenac - Wien Med Wochenschr. 1996;146(3):55-8 (I thought this study was interesting because
it showed that Wobenzym® was as effective as diclofenac. In another study, diclofenac was show to be as effective as Vioxx. That said, it would make sense that Wobenzym should be as effective as Vioxx.)
