Five-year survivor here. Been on Creon the entire time.
Lots of variables. Your metabolism, exercise or activity before or after, alcohol or none, what you ate or drank. Best bet is trial and error. And then you still sometimes get it wrong.
Keep in mind: those without pancreatic insufficiency also get upset stomachs and all those other digestive issues.
Wish there was a magic formula.

@bzabeli
May I ask what your diagnoses was ? Did metastasis/spread when you were or in the last 5 years? Really going through it with my dad right now it’s spread to his liver pretty bad.

@bzabeli thanks! It’s is def trial an error. But even what I eat something with fat I still go, one nite I had lasagne and I didn’t have to run to bathroom. Can’t figure that one out lol Am I taking it right, take a bite take a pill then 2and one I take on 2and bite. Maybe I take the second one too soon? I’m only 85lbs right now so I guess that makes dosing hard
