Psyllium and low pancreatic elestase

He also ordered CT scan abdomen with contrast!!

really

I don’t think the psyllium is likely to be responsible. If your stool frequency is due to poor fat digestion then the Creon could help you feel better. The dose is supposed to be adjusted over time to be right for you, so hopefully there’s a plan for that. I’m not sure what potential side effects are particularly concerning to you, but you can always stop the medication if it makes you feel worse instead of better.

As always, thank you Scott for the quick reply.

Concerning the side effects there are plenty including diarrhea and stomach cramps.

my primary is on vacation and I am wondering if I should take digestive enzymes until my appointment with him on the 29th.    

Thanks again!

The digestive enzymes would probably have a similar list of potential side effects if they’d ever been properly studied. In any case if I were in your situation I’d try the Creon. If it seemed to make me feel worse then I’d stop it.
