My 3 year old daughter has been on Creon since early July when she was diagnosed. She has been doing great on it. yesterday she broke out in hives all over her face. She is still on benadryl because once it wears off a few come back. The ER doctor and my best friend who is a dermatologist said the most likely causes are foods, drugs or a virus. She is healthy right now (I know this doesn't rule out a virus as she had a bad cold last week) and did not consume any new or different foods yesterday or today. Does anyone know of Creon causing hives?? It is the only med that she is on.

Emily has gotten rashes with viruses.
Rashes can also be caused by things like soaps, lotions, or other things that have come into contact with her skin.
Has she recently increased her enzymes? Allergic reaction is possible with any medication, Creon included- but I'd think that would be less likely at this point given how long she's been on it w/ no problems. The only question I'd have there is, how long ago did she make the switch to the new Creon formulation? The active ingredient in the new formulation is the same but some of the inactive ingredients in the capsules I believe are slightly different. I don't know if that would be enough to trigger a reaction but who knows.

The same thing happened to my daughter this summer. She had lunch and within an hour, her stomach and back were completely covered in hives. It crept up her neck and face by dinner. In the morning her legs and arms were covered. Then it reversed itself, disappearing from her midsection, then face, then legs.
The hives came back briefly during dinner that night, but were gone permanently the next morning. The pediatrician had no clue what caused it -- we hadn't changed soaps or shampoos or introduced new foods or medicines. At our next gastro appt I asked if, now that she's taking creon, foods that she hadn't been sensitive to would now cause a reaction. He really didn't think so. She had been taking Creon for about five months at that point, so it he'd didn't think the hives were caused by the Creon either.
It was over as mysteriously as it started. We never found out what caused it and it's never come back. I wish I could help you figure out what caused your daughter's reaction... I remember being on edge for days afterwards, nervous about what I may have given to my daughter to bring on that reaction and would I do it again -- or bring on a worse reaction. But thankfully, she was totally okay.
Good luck with this!!! I am curious to see if you do find a cause...
