Is There Any Med That May Work Better For Diarrhea And Gas Problem For Pancreas Removed Patient?
my mother had her pancreas removed 12 years ago.

Is there another med that may work better for her? Does dosage ever get changed as time goes on?
Dear Friend. Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern. Chronic diarrhea can occur as a result of pancreatic enzyme deficiency. I advise you following , you may discuss with your doctor before acting on it. 1. Combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone 2. Pancreatic Enzyme supplements with meals. Also get her blood sugar checked once. This is my personal opinion based on details available here.
