Pancrelipase for Pancreatic Exocrine Dysfunction "I'm on day 3. I feel very foggy on this. A little dizzy, unable to focus, it's like I have a bit of tunnel vision. I'm assuming it's the fillers used (in the ingredient list on the professional information for Creon says one of them is PEG, which I avoid). I will not continue taking this. It's likely I'll go back to OTC pancreatic enzymes, I didn't feel like this on them at all, but only accepted the script because my copay was less than OTC."

For Chronic Pancreatitis "I have Crohn's disease, I've had two surgeries, and have problems digesting food. My doctor put me on Creon, and within an hour after taking it, I had the worst case of brain fog ever. Like being stoned, but not in a good way. I tried it for several days and then stopped. Waited several days and tried it again with the same result. My doctor said it 'could not' have been from the Creon... well, I'm sure that it was."
