Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea

I am not sure what I have been diagnosed with but it has to do with my pancreas. I have been prescribed Creon DR 24,000 units, 3 tabs with a full meal and 2 with a snack. I am to also take Imodium (1 tablet ) after I finish eating, or take 2 tabs when Diarrhea starts and 1 tab every time I have a bowel movement. I have no control with the bowel movements I have them anytime. I use a whole pack of Imodium in 1 day. I can t control these incidents and I am having to wear big Kotex or diapers. help?????
