I’ve been an insulin dependent diabetic for 20 years caused by calicification of the pancreas. About 4 months ago I was confirmed as having severe pancreatic insufficiency. Fecal elastase 8. I’ve been on Creon which seemed to work well for 3 months. I  moved to 2x 25000 for main meals and 1x 25000 for snacks. Total of 6  Meals  per day very low fat 40g. I was on 225000 Creon a day. I lost alot of weight and now weigh 45kg. Also taking a PPI. Since last month something has changed and I’m struggling to keep the weight. I’ve upped my Creon to 300000 per day and now even further to 340000 but still having issues. I’m on 70000 for main meals and 45000 for snacks. I’m unsure what classifies as a snack. Is it a biscuit or something more substantial. I usually have half a meal replacement shake and two small pancakes as a snack. Perhaps this is more than a snack.I’m so confused. One doctor said my dose is too high for my weight and what I’m eating (1900 calories per day) and other doctors say you can’t take enough Creon. Please can you help me. I don’t know what to do. Thank you.</blockquote>
