Creondave, could you explain EPI, what does it stand for, what problems sent you to the dr., what kind of dr.? What is Creon and what does it do? Are your bowel and bladder issues related to or caused by the EPI? I'm 65, I feel so yucky and exhausted all the time that I rarely leave my house. But when I do, I get to wear those lovely and comfy Depends. Have you found any other brands that are more comfy? I guess as a woman who has been through childbirth, self esteem and related issues left along time ago. I do understand that this is not easy for you. I am grateful that I don't have leakage issues, well except for bladder every time I sneeze, cough, vomit, then it comes out both end. Oh, also, why was cancer, a concern of the drs? If I am asking too many questions, just tell me to stop. This is embarrassing stuff to talk about, but I know I am here because I have lost all respect for our medical institutions and people.

@shelleyw - EPI is Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency, the inability to properly digest food due to a lack of digestive enzymes made by the pancreas.

I have found men’s adult diapers to work best for comfort and effectiveness.
