Message: <blockquote data-quote="GavinL" data-source="post: 1021001" data-attributes="member: 98243">The mal-absorption is a problem - I have quizzed my 'team' at the hospital on numerous occasions about how much Creon I should be taking with each meal and snack. No one really ever gives a concrete answer to this despite the question being sent onwards to the Endocrinologists - I generally have 100,000 per meal (4 x 25,000), sometimes more if there is a particularly high fat content, swallowed periodically through the meal to help with the digestive combining. I used to have the 10,000 for snacks, but tend not to snack these days. My team say that if my weight is stable (I had lost 30% of my previous body mass) and things are ok (dare I say it) at the tail-end <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> then carry on with what I'm doing. No one seems too concerned about the levels of Creon I'm personally taking, which does seem odd.I do hope things settle for you properly and you can then concentrate on moving to a pump, which I'm sure you will find quite liberating.</blockquote>
