Are you taking the Creon all at once or staggering the capsules throughout the duration of the meal as it should be?
The Canadian Digestive Health Foundation has developed a dosing calculator making it easier to determine the amount of capsules necessary for efficient digestion. The calculator is at https://digestthis.ca

If a large, longer meal I stagger them throughout the meal. Otherwise they are taken all at once at first bite of food. This is what I was instructed to do. I have tried the digest this calculator but find it doesn’t have many of the foods listed - I have submitted that info, so hopefully they will be added. I also found it calculated very close to what I was already taking. I am still within the limits it says are my max based on weight. I was new to it so was slower using app but found it very time consuming. I will admit I am also generally not a fan or trusting of many apps. I will continue to try it periodically but do not regularly use it.
