chronic pancreatic

[Snilesworth]

been diagnosed early this year with chronic pancreatis. Lost 2 stone in a year. Have chronic constipation and find that if my toilet stays soft I have less pain under my rib cage. Been put on Creon 25.000ml 3 which each main meal 2 per snack.

Is anyone else on creon and constipated too.

I take 1 full sachet of laxido at night and 1/2 sachet in the morning plus 2 senna at night.

I was given Lactolose in hospital but this gives me strong pain.

Also couple month I had impaction in upper bowls which give me strong pain under my rib cage was given laxido to take 8 sachet in 6 hours it open my bowls ok...follow up by 1 sachet per night 1 sachet in the morning.

I was taking up to 5 of that strength Creon per meal before I had the Whipple operation but not really suffered from constipation

Good luck and hopefully get sorted soon

Hi, I know nothing about pancreatitis but can offer some hints in a different direction. First of all,best thing for constipation are kiwi. I took them after laparoscopy as pain medication killed good bacterias. Not sure if you were tested for Sibo. Lactulose normally does miracles if you dont have sibo. Its feeds good bacterias and thats why its suppose to help with constipation. But anyway,constipation can have two causes,sometimes mixed. One is not enough diversity in colon. For that,instead of lactulose which is a prebiotic , take Partially hydrolised guar gum from Optifiber or Healths Origin. If you get bloated under an hour from your meals,it means you have Sibo. The second cause of constipation is methane Sibo. But doing kiwi,guar gum and increasing to 4-5 fruits a day should fix it.Im also curious as i came here from Sibo as i think creon 10 000 is helpping me. I thought pancreatitis comes only with diareea. I am curious about sympthoms.

Thank you. Merry Christmas!
