Started on Creon and boy do I love pigs.Creon comes from pigs and has made such a difference to my life.

I feel hungry and enjoy food.

I don't get horrid swollen tummy on eating.

I don't get chronic fatigue after food.

Why its taken a most two years to get put on it,is hard to comprehend,but so far so good.

Experimenting wth how much I need with various food,but learning.

If you have any tios,thoughts etc please share.

Thank you

    Great news Cathy you finally got on the creon,it's a disgrace it took so long,I have been on them for two years and they have made a big difference ,Cathy just be careful with your diet,they are not a cure but will help your digestion.take three with every meal,and one with a snack.eat small and often.hope this helps,wish you all the best David.

      Thanks David,im finding Creon very good, but will take a whoile to get my bowel used to them.If im constipated,does it mean im taking too much,or is it too little,or just a side effect? Still keeping to low fat diet,with occasional small treat like slice low fat fruit cake.But the horrid blotting and pain  after eatting has gone.Got speciailists disscussing my case tomorrow and will see what happens next.
