Does anyone take Pancrease, digestive enzymes?

My sister recently diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis. She also has diabetes, she is finding it very difficult to know what low fat foods to eat, or how to eat at restaurants and find appropriate food. Also, her doctor told her no more than 10 grams of fat per day! That is very hard to do! Does anyone have low fat diet help? or if staying at below 10 grams of fat per day is reasonable or unreasonable? Her name is Judy, she is 74 years old and wears a urine ostomy bag because her bladder was removed last year due to bladder cancer. Also, now she has a stage 1 cancer polyp in her stomach which will be removed on 7/23/2025. I am her sister Mary trying to help her. Thank you, Mary Rhodes

Long ago I had a friend who had 2 children with Celiac Disease. Both boys took Digestive enzymes with every meal to help them digest their food. I don't know if they took Pancrease.
I guess this would be a lifetime even for these boys, but they moved away and I am not in touch anymore. I know they were bright, active children even though they had to have chest percussion and other respiratory treatments every day too.
I am sorry your sister has so many troubles to work with and wish her well with her upcoming surgery in 3 days. Perhaps you and she could meet with a nutrionist while she is in hospital?
