In the last 2 weeks I have been diagnosed with EPI and now have to take Creon

GP says take with all meals and snacks and if the diarrhoea continues adjust the number of Creon I take. I am getting used to taking everytime I eat but sometimes I forget

Any advice on the best foods to eat, I only drink water and green tea

Was only diagnosed after 6 months of constant diarrhoea and a stand in GP suggested a stool test for pancreatic enzymes hence the diagnosis
