Hello,
My 15 year old daughter was diagnosed a few months ago with Pancreatic divisium. I want to start her on enzymes sooner rather than later. I'm so glad to see that they helped you. Did you start at a particular does of Creon?

Thank you for your post!

Glad you are getting her the help she needs. I hope she listens to the doctors and doesn’t think she’s super woman like I did. I could have saved myself a lot of misery. I take creon 24,000. Two with meals and one with snack. Creon has a coupon out there (a 6 month supply is $6500) that reduces the cost to $0 and the cost of medicine goes toward the deductible. The key is you have to have insurance to get the coupon! I wish you all the best. It will teach her to eat healthy and pay attention! 🙏

Concentration of the pancrealipase is based on a formula each manufacturer uses specific to their product taking one’s body mass into account. Each brand then needs to be optimized-determining the number of capsules to take based on meal type (quantity and fat content). Keeping a daily food diary is helpful along with using a digestion calculator.
