[QUOTE="Sulasailor, post: 2364806, member: 328933"] I was for 5 years a T2 in remission having adopted a very low carb diet. After feeling very fit and well last Summer in Autumn I started feeling Yucky, then started losing weight rapidly, with changes bowel motions. Scans revealed a 3cms lesion in the foot of my Pancreas which was removed by Wipples procedure six weeks after Oct diagnosis. The weight loss was due to malnutrition as my pancreas was compromised and not producing digestive enzymes I was unable to obtain any nourishment from the food I ate. It’s vital to get checked ASP only 10% are early enough to get this operation. At first Creon was not much fun to take when feeling unwell and made me retch, but taken with some low suger lemon juice was palatable. Six weeks on I from the op I seem to have become used to it. There is an excellent NHS pamphlet on taking creon with good advice worth reading. I take three 25000 with a meal, two with a dessert. Better to take a little too many, I judge sufficient dose by having reasonably normal stools, if too little then stools end up pale, broken up and floaty. Yuk! [/QUOTE]
