My 4yr old take 5 creon10 every meal and snack. He has problems with blockage and takes miralax. My 2yr old also takes 5 creon10 each meal and snack. They both are 40 pounds. 5 small meals 2 snacks a day. My youngest has a huge stomach all the time and he is still always "soupy" in the bm department. Hey do you give meds before after or during meals? Try only giving 3 then if the food is on the grease side give 4. That always worked for my boys.

DS was on 3 1/2 to 4 capsules of Pancrease MT4s for a long time. Seemed when we switched from formula to whole milk, he had major constipation issues, big belly. Had to give him milk of mag a few times. The preschool director's theory was he was being a poop holder. Made him uncomfortable to poop, so he'd hold it in, would make matters worse. Looking back, she was probably right because we really didn't change all that much with his diet.

We went thru a time when we'd bump him up half a capsule and have the same thing happen, was very frustrating. With snacks I did the same thing gave him juice, fruit, candy.. Is she eating high fat foods?

DS has been pretty good since he was about 2-2 1/2. He's now on 5 pancrease mt4s with meals.

hi u guys r great i give her 4 pancrease mt 4 caps before her meal most of her food is not that fattning she does drink 1 pediasure a day and loves meatloaf and elbow noodles w/ butter on them occasionally we'll get a cheesburger & fries she will gobble up the cheesburger and hardly touch the fries she also likes peanut butter & jelly sandwiches she doesn't like to snack most of her snacks i will give her fruit or veggies things that don't require enzymes just because i know she just picks at it, her belly did go down tremendously since i put her back down to 4 caps per meal and gave her the exra dose of miralax but she still has a big belly guess thats a cf thing i think 5 caps per meal was to much 4 her right now
