"I have autoimmune pancreatitis and have been sick for years. No doctor could figure out what was wrong with me. When I was admitted to the hospital at the beginning of 2024, I was dying. A chance encounter with a doctor there led to the diagnosis of EPI, and then the cause (autoimmune pancreatitis). They started me on Creon immediately. It was a miracle drug. I could eat again. No pain, no running to the bathroom. And then I had an allergic reaction to it, anaphylaxis. So I had to stop. We changed to Pancreaze and it has worked even better for me. I'm currently on 21,000 units with every meal. The only side effects I deal with are a little bloating and gas if I have a high-fat meal."

For Pancreatic Exocrine Dysfunction "Diagnosed with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency 2 months ago. A year and a half prior, suffered from explosive diarrhea after eating anything at all, uncontrolled for 18 months. A zillion tests showed nothing wrong. Then, a GI specialist did a stool elastase test, and then later a CT scan at my request. The scan showed some fatty pancreas but not too bad. Stool tested middle of the moderate bad range for enzyme insufficiency. I've now been taking Pancreaze for about 3 months, 75,000 units with a meal and 35,000 units with a snack. For 1 month, had all positive change. No more diarrhea. No more floating stools. No side effects except really bad breath, which my acquaintances have told me about. But now, for almost 2 months, I have headaches almost daily. Also floating stools again. Also much looser stools but not necessarily diarrhea. Extremely bad breath. About a 35% loss of energy."
