Adding digestive enzyme supplements

Hi @djfone - sorry to hear your husband is having trouble with food post his surgery. I have been using Creon for almost seven years now since having a total pancreatectomy in 2019. I use three 36,000 unit Creon capsules with meals and one for snacks and has really worked out well for me.

Sometimes I will take an extra one with a meal if it is a higher fat content but generally can eat anything I want as long as I watch my carb load since the resultant diabetes from the surgery. I will tell you that Creon is expensive but AbbVie, who makes Creon, offers support and discounts at https://www.creonhcp.com/patient-support if you would like to learn more about their offerings.

Take care,
- Matt

Thank you, Matt. This is very helpful. I started Creon 1 week ago and I am still trying to find the right dosage. (It's not working, so far.)
I'm working with my doctor to address this.
