Is Creon The Right Medicine For Crohn’s Disease?
Taking Creon because of Crohns, small bowel resection with removal of terminal ileuim, no gallbladder, and all has caused fecal 24 hour fat test to come back with a number of 21. Resection was in Nov. 2015. I am 56 year old female and have had Crohns most of my life. The Creon is a shot in the dark by GI to see if it helps the mal-absorption problem as I do not have pancreatitis. Have you heard of using it for this? Is it okay to have a couple glasses a wine while on Creon

Hello,
Creation is a pancreatic enzyme supplement that helps in digestion especially fat and protein digestion.
Many of the Crohn’s disease patients experience problems with digestion and Creon will be very much effective for them. Nothing much to worry and your treatment is on the right track.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
