I am 4 weeks from my pancreas and spleen removed. It was brutal. But dealing with diabetes is another problem. My biggest issue is stomachaches from the Ceron I take 18, 000 to 24,000 per meal. I am eating VERY small portions like 2 tablespoons of tuna on a pita. They took part of stomach so so small can’t eat much. I am going to try and sprinkle the Ceron on food. Any suggestions for another enzyme

I started with ZenPep because the pharmacy was out of Creon. With my next prescription I asked for Creon. My experience - I could not tolerate the Creon. So i switched back to ZenPep. ZenPep has worked well for me.
