Is anyone taking Zenpep rather than Creon? If so what foods work?

@baravelli that's what I was told at the beginning but things were not working properly. Then when I saw my pancreatic GI doctor, he told me that I should eat a few bites, take one pill (25,000 units) and then when I finish the meal, take another one. It has worked very well. I don't take one at breakfast or with snacks. I guess everyone is different. I was taking 2 or 3 prior to my first bite before but somehow that did not work for me.

@cpblanco I agree everyone is different. It may have something to do with the amount of the pancreas that was removed maybe??? I guess it doesn't matter when I take the Creon , it's more about the amount of capsules I'm taking for the food Ive chosen. I've determined that I need to take 3 capsules meals with fats and oil. Yet only 2 capsules work with meals with higher amts of carbs and proteins. I guess It's time for another appt with the nutritionist.
