I don’t have any side effect with Creon. Are you sure Creon is the cause?

My problem is the dire lack of supply. I haven’t managed using get any Creon for 5 months and the side effect of having to limit intake has many bad side effects.

My Dr said a few people are allergic, but very rare.

I was on Creon for about 25 years until I got a severe allergic reaction, but it was in my throat. I stopped taking Creon and changed to herbal enzymes. Expensive but no other option.

Hi Tom

Can you share the herbal enzymes you are taking?

Thanks

I've been taking Source Naturals Essential Enzymes for years now, from Bigvits on eBay. I ned six or seven capsules a day but I'm not a big eater due to hiatus hernia as well as my other problems.

Before that tried various Holland and Barrett versions but they were not as effective, and despite the price of the ones I take, the others worked out worse.

thank you. I also have the same hernia as you and not a big eater as well.

I’ll search for these as I want to replace Creon and go to a natural source.

Thanks again
