I have all three as well, but have been fairly stable for the past year. Creon, along with a high fiber diet, lots of water and exercise seems to be what works best for me. Make sure you are taking supplements of the fat-soluble vitamins.
I understand, it has been a bit of a horror show. Physically I am getting better. Creon, proper diet (low fat, low carbs, and smaller meals) and exercise have helped a great deal. The diarrhea still comes back sporadically and I have been struggling to accept it as a fact of life that I have to make accommodations for. It has gotten better, but the randomness of occasional uncontrollable diarrhea and gas is not easy mentally, and makes me wonder if there isn't something else going wrong. Having said that, some doctors have told me that this is rather normal, and I could have a relatively normal life, so I am trying to stay positive. Good luck.
