Would you be willing to make a video about how Creon works for Exocridine Pancreatic Insufficiency? I'm a medically complex 41 year old female.
I just binged your videos on a couple different medicines I'm currently prescribed. But also to educate myself before my upcoming pain management appointment! Thank you for breaking it down into bite sized chunks because it's alot of medical information I have to digest and doctors don't really explain things in an easy to understand, not overwhelming way. Thank you!!

Hi!
Your pancreas normally produces digestive enzymes which help to break down fats, proteins and carbohydrates. However, in the case of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency, your pancreas simply doesn't produce enough of these digestive enzymes. This means that it is difficult for your body to break down and absorb essential nutrients from the food that you eat. This can lead to malnutrition.
Creon (also known as Pancrelipase) is basically a replacement to those enzymes that your pancreas usually produces. This allows your body to break down food and absorb the necessary amount of nutrients.
I most likely won't be making a video on Creon for now, but I hope that explanation helped out!
