@djfone Sorry to hear that about your husband. Most folks on here have had to resort to digestive enzymes post Whipple. Fortunately, @matt2024 has shared his experience. Thank you Matt. The chemo is probably contributing to your husband's discomfort. What chemo is he on?
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.
@marymichaels do you have a Nurse Ambassador with Abbvie? Mine has been super helpful. I had Whipple surgery Nov 2024 and started Creon in Dec. It's been a game changer. I take three 24K capsules prior to my 3 meals daily and 1 or 2 with snacks. I was taking 2 capsules before meals and had some issues with diarrhea. My Oncologist suggested 3 capsules before meals and that made all the difference for me. I hope you can find the perfect dose!! Good luck!
