Life after Pancreatectomy: How was your recovery?
Pancreatic Cancer | Last Active: May 19, 2023 | Replies (20)Comment receiving replies
My endocrinologist told me to take one 24000 creon pill with snacks and two with meals. I lost 30 lbs and couldn’t digest any food. My GI doc changed me to three for meals and two for snacks. That made all the difference! The ideal diet for someone who doesn’t have a pancreas is not the best for a diabetic. That said, creon is sooo expensive but worth it.
God Bless!

Have you checked with Abbvie Assist to see if you are eligible for Creon free. Abbvie is the company that makes Creon. My pharmacist at Mayo Rochester told me about them and I get Creon each month free. You have to be eligible, but it is worth checking into if you haven’t. I take 3-4 36,000 units of Creon with meals and 1-2 with snacks. Possible you will be eligible also.
