Excepting for the fact that gas smells for the benefit of the deaf, most Cfers don't need this problem. For openers it hurts. Sometimes that "hurt" defy's description. The prescribing of Creon or any other enzyme supliment for CF has been most often a black art for a CF specialist or a good Gi doc. Science once again comes to our aid. The trick is finding somebody who has learned the science and is willing to make life with pancreatic insufficancy closer to normal. I second the suggestion Printer made to look up Dr. Steven Freedman. A fecal elastase test or some other metrics could be quantified specifically in your situation. Don't shoot blind if you don't have to. I haven't looked into this myself but Lena's suggestion that you consider switching enzyme regiments may find you meeting an updated and on the market old friend; Pancreacarb. It was rumored to be back about this time last year. If the name isn't clear, the new Pancreacarb, like the old contains the buffer sodium bicarbonate, formerly produced by your pancreas. Sodium Bicarbonate rocks where enzymes fear to tread. Then the big question, you need to know how much of what, works? If you had my lab and the desire to play in poop, it is easy. Assuming neither are high on your list. See Dr. Freedman, this man is a brilliant asset to the CF community. Catch him while you can.
