Pulmonologist says I should be dead by now

@samflower You mention diarrhea and how it rules everything. That was me about 2 years ago. I suddenly started with diarrhea out of nowhere. My doctor gave me a referral to gastroenterology for a colonoscopy. I hate those things. On top of that, the doctor was rude! Anyway, he said that i have EPI—exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. I was not making enough pancreatic enzymes so wasn’t digesting foods. Started me on Creon which replaces the pancreatic enzymes. I’m much better now, thank heavens! Sure hope you get taken care of soon!

Hi Becky! Great to hear from you, thank-you. How wonderful that you received an accurate diagnosis from your GI doc and that Creon has given you much needed relief. I'll be asking my doc about Creon and the otc digestive enzymes I've tried only made things worse.
Wow, really sorry you had to go through the dreaded colonoscopy procedure and that you had a rude doctor. Trying to get help is really frustrating most of the time without the additional stress of someone being rude to you. Thank-you for reaching our, Becky. I really appreciate it and your letting me know about Creon. All the best to you 🙂
