We were told by a dietitian that you can’t take too much of Creon. It helps you digest your food and get some goodness from it.

Hiya Good Morning. I've been taking Creon since Easrly 2017 and was the best medication ever and still is. If I forget my stomach is quick telling me. Carry on don't give up we know our bodies better than Consultations. You can't overdose as the leaflet says? I take approx 8/10 daily. My lifesaver. I've not seen a Consultant since 2018.Good Luck

You cant overdose on Creon my Consultant/GP have told me. Three main meals equates to six Creon approx. and one with each snack????? that info came from Kings College.
