Please do try a food journal. I have done that and now know exactly what will set off my system. I cannot afford Creon just now, so I stay away from particular foods and will take a brand if I just cannot resist.
I was not left diabetic or enzyme deficient so I am blessed in that regard as well.

Lastly, my dietician switched me to ADEK water soluble vitamins and I take extra D3. I eat what I want, but no large meals-and 5-10 servings of fruits/vegetables with 50-80 grams protein daily. Maybe this will help someone…

Wondering if you have tried Abbvie Assist for Creon. My pharmacist at Mayo Clinic suggested it as my Creon was expensive. I emailed Abbvie Assist, the sent me an online form to fill out, and I was approved for one year of free Creon. Your oncologist needs to fill out a small portion of the form, but it was easy and the effort was worth it. I get 3 bottle with 100 Creon in each bottle (36,000 unit capsules) each month. Good luck!
