Does anyone have any adverse effects from taking Creon for EPI?

Posted by nazleer @nazleer, Jun 2 8:23am

I have loose motion and high blood sugars from taking Creon. I am having to take Imodium more often.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

Go online to read all side effects and you can also go to Abbvie.com, the manufacturers website. What you list can be attributed to this medication. I have a few side effects listed, but can't definitively say they are because of CREON. When I was diagnosed was under nourished and losing weight quickly. CREON has stabilized my weight loss and I have only mild vitamin deficiency issues, which could also be because of my age. I'm grateful someone figured how to treat EPI, AND found a treatment! Good luck.

I found an excellent Nutritionist. She taught me so much about Creon. How much you can take. When to take it. How it is necessary for nutrients to absorb. How it only lasts for 20 min. How much enzymes a healthy pancreas puts out. I highly suggest it. She said to go on u-tube. There are videos about this medicine that are very helpful. Best of luck to you.

Where is the Nutritionist? Can I contact her?

Your gastro should give you a prescription to see a nutritionist. There are numerous nutritionists listed online, but it would be better to find one affiliated with a major hospital. The one I use is in the main section of one of our hospitals. They mostly deal with diabetes and that is why most hospitals have them in house, so to speak.
