RATING	REASON	SIDE EFFECTS FOR CREON	COMMENTS	SEX	AGE	DURATION/ DOSAGE	DATE ADDED
				F M
4	After C-Diff	I have a lot of gas some days.	My GI Doctor prescribed this to me after wracking her brain on what would help my chronic diarrhea (I had C-Diff 6 months ago & am still dealing with the after effects), so she had me try Questran powder which did nothing to help me, then had me try this. Although I still have diarrhea most days, I would say this has helped my body try to become "normal" again a couple of days a week. I see this as positive since nothing before this has worked.

3	Sphincter of oddi disease	Creon may have caused some gas and discomfort. I'm still having bouts of diarrhea, but I think that may be due to bile salt malabsorption.		F	25	2 weeks 12,000	7/4/2013
4	chronic diarrhea	None. It improved my situation by 75%. Still experience diarrhea but much less frequently.	kind of expensive - ($3,000 for 90 day supply) but insurance covers much of the cost. Still I hate to take such an expensive med. Inconvenient - have to take 3 capsules with every meal and 1-2 with each snack. But - it helps...	M	67	80 days gelcap 10X D	12/14/2010
