And today we're highlighting what might be behind your stomach issues.
Gas, bloating, diarrhea, or oily stools after eating could actually be exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, or EPI.
A prescription medicine, like Creon pancrelipase, is used to treat people who cannot digest food normally because their pancreas does not make enough enzymes.
Creon may increase your chance of fibrosing colonopathy, a rare bowel disorder.
Tell your doctor if you have a history of intestinal blockage or scarring or thickening of your bowel wall, if you are allergic to pork, or if you have gout, kidney problems, or worsening of painful, swollen joints.
Call your doctor if you have any unusual or severe gastrointestinal symptoms or allergic reactions.
Take Creon as directed by your doctor and always with food.
Do not chew capsules, as this may cause mouth irritation.
Other side effects may include blood sugar changes, gas, dizziness, sore throat, and cough.
These are not all the side effects of Creon.
