It strikes me that you do need to overcome the issue with taking Creon. If you can get help with this it would eleviate a lot of your problems.

If you take it only with your food and stick to small meals then it shouldn't have such an effect.
Ask your GP if you can try an alternative enzyme supplement.

When i go to the hospital i get between2-6 mg of dilaudid and 4 mg of zofran. Drs would prescribe zofran for home, but insurance wont cover.

Dont give up. When you get upset or nervous, it actually makes the pancreatitis worse... I Dont know why, it just does.
