questions re Creon

[Guest guest]

, we started our son on Creon two weeks ago. His tests showed that

he was deficient in chymotrypsin, among other things. Anyway, it has made all

the difference in the world with Dylan's intestinal problems. He has less

pain and

discomfort, and the severe constipation is not a problem anymore. Of

course, he

takes other things for the constipation too, but the Creon made the biggest

difference. Personally, I think it's great!! So far, we have seen

absolutely no

side effects. Hope this helps you.

My soon-to-be 7 yr old son needs enzymes to break down protein and

fats. We have been using Intenzyme Forte by Biotics (excellent

product), but $$ is tight. Our insurance will cover Creon.

1) Is Creon GFCF? We are also reduced soy.

2) Has anyone had good/bad responses?

3) Have any advice to offer?

I would greatly appreciate responses. I need to call the dr's office

tomorrow if this is what we chose to do.

Thanks,

,

My son has been on creon for about a year. We have seen good results

as he was not digesting his food prior to that. I open the capsule and

sprinkle it on his food a few times a day. The capsules are gf/cf. The

writing on the capsule has soy, but if you open it up, you can avoid it.
