Re: need advice regarding pancreatic enzymes--Becca

[Guest guest]

You have already gotten some excellent information from some of our

board members so I will not repeat all that. What they told you is

very true.

I also take creon 10, but I only take one with meals. Different

docs have a different school of thought on what is necessary. There

is one thing Iwould like to share with you and that gas. Sounds

kind of funny huh...lol.

Well the creon gave me the worse gas until my body adjusted to it.

I would take GasX, several actually, a few hours after each meal and

it helped tremendously. It was very painful gas, but his body will

adjust and the gas will ease a lot. It has for me. It is also

important to take the creon before you start eating with a tall

glass of water. The water helps with the gas and also with

distriubting the enzyme once it has broken down in the intestine.

I also take Miralax. It is a fiber type laxative that is colorless

oderless and tasteless. I have mixed it with everyting from water

to coffee. It helps with diahrrea as well as constipation. I would

never want to be without it. If your husband takes a lot of pain

meds that can cuase some terrible constipation. Ask you doc about

Miralax.

I feel like I am on a commercial holding the bottle name side out

with a cheesey grin... try it you'll like it...lol

Hope it helps
