There are a lot of different strengths of Creon. Up to 36,000 lipase per capsule,. I thought that my recommended dose of 24,000 (1 capsule) per snack and 48,000 per meal, so up to 216,000 per day was too much. It's been 10 weeks since my Whipple surgery and through trial and error, I have come up with 120,000 per day. I'm still working on it. A lot depends on diet and how much fat you eat. I try to keep to a low fat diet, eating as many healthy fats as possible. I have also been in communication with a dietician and she said over dosing with Creon is less likely than under dosing. Also, I'm taking what would be considered a low dose. Consult with your doctor, keep a food journal and track your dosage is my recommendation.
