Thank you so much for responding! My stools vary but sometimes they are very oily with diarrhea and it feels like I do need more Creon. My GI Specialist let me try “Zenpep” last month and he had me stop the Creon at once and replace it with the Zenpep. I was extremely sick for 3-4 days and I decided to go back on the Creon. He switched me because I think the Creon upsets my stomach often. I actually have an appointment tomorrow with my GI and I will bring up the powder packets too. I am open to anything! And I believe you’re right about it not being Gastroparesis since the Pyloric Valve was removed. My doctor didn’t seem too educated on people who had a total pancreatectomy and removal of the duodenum. I’m hoping I’m wrong and that tomorrow goes well! Thank you again for your reply!
