Although I take the adequate amount of Creon for the amount of fat and protein I eat I am having problems coping with the unpleasant effects having no Pancreas is having at the present time. It is starting to get me down. I can cope well now with T1 but would appreciate some advice on diet and/or a useful web site I can search through to find a diet that does not keep making me have to rush off to the loo
 
Hi @lollyann1, Firstly have you sought medical advice ? What has been suggested and what have you tried?
Whilst I do not suffer from similar troubles I recall a bowel surgeon saying: eating dark chocolate was her answer to patients regarding loose bowels.
I cannot give this as medical advice or opinion. Just an observation.
There are perhaps medications which could help and so my suggestion to seek advice.
Best Wishes to finding solutions and I hope at least some are food related and enjoyable.

Thanks for your response. If I am heading towards a Hypo I do eat a small amount of dark chocolate. I do take Creon tablets before each meal and snack which are digestive enzymes but I think I may have take more depending on how much fat I propose to eat
