Possible Creon side effects: What helped you?

Tongue with a burning sensation and tingling started about 6 weeks ago. Have seen internist, gastro and dentist. None saw anything alarming. Take CREON for EPI and gastro told me a reaction to that usually starts when you first start this medication or for people who may chew the capsules (which you aren't supposed to do). Also have loud ringing in the ears. Read tongue issue can be vitamin deficiency, so added B Complex, Potassium, Niacin, Folic Acid and 10 mg liquid Iron, as my Ferratin was low, Started taking all over a month ago. There is one place on L side of tongue that is irritated and gets worse as the day goes on. Back to the dentist tomorrow to have him check to see if I have somehow chipped a crown and it is irritating tongue. Have an appointment with ENT, so she can have a look, as I know this is a process of elimination. My plan is to ask for an MRI of head and neck if I can't get this resolved, but with current complaint burning/tingling in tongue and nothing visible, I know a doctor will not prescribe, although I will pay myself if I have to, but still need orders from doctor. Also started taking Pepcid three days ago in case it is acid reflux, which I have had in the past.

I discovered that whitener in tooth paste was the cause of burning and irritating tongue/ mouth. I used Sensodyne tooth paste for years. My dentist suggested I try a different toothpaste just to rule it out as a cause. When I stopped using it did resolved. I used Colgate regular toothpaste. Then I started using whitening toothpaste. Symptoms returned in a big way. After ruling out all other possibilities as listed in your comments, I suspected toothpaste again so returned to regular no whitening and now symptom free! I noticed they had added Whitening some years back to Sensodyne toothpaste which started all those symptoms. I hope it maybe as easy a solution as this for you.

Thanks so much. I should probably go back to the gastroenterologist. I have been to the internist, dentist twice and gastro once. ENT next week. I was thinking MRI to rule out any kind of tumor, but will ask ENT to have a look down the throat. It is steadily improving with addition of iron and B complex, folic acid and niacin to pill regime.
