Thank you for moving me to digestive health. You ask if chronic pancreatitis was the cause of my EPI it was not it was from a very bad reaction to 2 drugs estergen cream and 2 weeks later a really bad reaction to a infusion of recast a BISPHOSPHONATE over 200 days of diarrhea,lost 25lb and lots of muscle.the only information from my dr was creon  and a low fat diet thank  God for the internet there is a lot of other things you can do.Creon is very important but organic low fat diet,supplements,hydration,controlling stress and weight bearing exercise all help.I am 78  and I have done organic food for the last 30 years. I would like to find a Dr in Austin Texas that knows more about EPI . If any one wants a list of the supplements I take I would be glad to send it.It may take a while working a job,not feeling well and typing with one finger takes longer.but I have done a lot of research and am willing to share also I am open to any information or suggestions.this is a wonderful place to find I have felt very much alone  thank you jewill<br><br>

I'm new to this site and have just recently been diagnosed with EPI after several years of intermittent chronic diarrhea, etc. I'm on Creon and it seems to help but I have been totally exhausted all the time and don't know if it's the Creon , diet, or WHAT? I'm 78 and have been healthy up to now. I've stopped alcohol ( wine) completely and I really miss my evening 2 glasses of white wine but no it is a huge contributing factor. I'm wondering if this disease is hereditary because my father had Pancreatitis at 50.
