i saw a Gastroenterologist/ Hepatologist today. he examined me and asked me lots of questions. Then he told me i had Chronic Pancreatitis and he was going to prescribe Creon enzyme therapy. i was glad to finally get an answer after three years and five other Gastroenterologists but im slightly confused as hes not doing any scans. Does he not need to do a scan to find out if it definetly is Pancreatitis and how bad it it?

      You can buy a Creon substitute from Holland and Barrett or online. Maybe it would be worth trying to see if it helped or if you have an understanding doctor try asking. Hope you get the help you need. Im just about sorted thanks to the Chinese therapist.
