What are other survivors doing about pancreatic enzymes replacement?

Hi
I am 11 months post Whipple for pancreatic Ca. I have spoken to my gastroenterologist about this a few times. I do not take any enzymes, I was originally prescribed Creon and did take it for a short while, but I am able to eat without it, I have no symptoms after eating. The doctor said if it doesn’t seem to make a difference there is no reason to take it. I have been blessed with the ability to eat just about anything post surgery

You take creon if you get gas a lot. And if your stools are floating, if you don’t need them - that’s great! Creon helps with absorption of nutrients.
