Well, you know I’m going to tell you to ask your Dr. and/or a licensed registered dietitian first!!! 😉
I will say that I doubt it will hurt if you don’t. But!
I’m not a dr!!! And I would recommend that you ALWAYS address these type of questions with your dr and a licensed registered dietitian.
EPI can vary from patient to patient as we each have different sensitivities to what we can digest, tolerate and ultimately thrive on throughout our lives.
It’s not a boring diagnosis!
So at least we have that! lol
You can probably tell that I have high hopes and expectations for all of us that have EPI.
I’m convinced that are many people that have probably been misdiagnosed due to the confusing symptoms that can mimic other conditions.
We ALL need to be on a mission to get the word out especially since there are so many “yahoos” out there trying to sell useless supplements that are touted to improve “gut health”. What a crock!
It’s a shame because people just want answers and there is NO supplement on earth that is going to “fix” EPI.
It’s a genetic disorder and the only way we will thrive is to take our “PERT”s and eat what is best for each of our individual tolerances.
PS: PERT - Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy-
I’m sure you knew this already 🫶🏽
All the best

Hi Granny Dee,

Thank you for your note. I just started taking Creon this past Friday, so I'm navigating my way through taking it with all meals and snacks. I know it takes time to know whether the dosage I'm taking is working or needs to be adjusted. I'm hoping for the best outcome to feeling better.

All the best,
Linda
