New to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI): What helps?

My name is Mercedes Wise.
I have been diagnose with pancreatic atrophy with cysts (12). That is the cause of my low pancreatic elastace.

I have tried Creon and I can not tolerate it. So I found SpectraZyme from Metagenics and it works for me. It has been hard to calculate how much to take, I use different doses for each meal, depending on what I eat.
I will like to know more about this subject

Regards

Mercedes

Welcome Mercedes @mercellort, I don't have any experience but from what I've read because SpectraZyme is a nutritional supplement you need to work with a doctor or registered dietician to determine the correct dosage. If you haven't already seen it, you might find this information helpful - https://www.identifyepi.com/epi-treatment.
