chronic pancreatitis and Creon.

Merry

I have chronic pancreatitis and was recently diagnosed with malnutrition as my body has stopped making the enzymes needed to break down and absorb the nutrients I need. I've been prescribed Creon, an enzyme replacement therapy, but as I've not come across this before I was wondering if there's anyone here who's also on it?

Hi @Merry

Welcome to our site/online community.

It’s great to meet you today.

I do hope that one of our friendly members can help you with this???

But I would be more than happy in helping you look into things on the internet if that would be helpful???

Thanks Steve, nice to be here. Also thanks for the offer of internet help but I'm internet friendly thank goodness.

Hi @Merry, and a warm welcome to the community! 

This isn't something I have experience with myself, but hopefully some of our community members will be able to share their experiences with you.

Hi Merry, I take creon as I have Cystic Fibrosis and that affects my pancreas in a very similar way to yours. Xx
