(my fecal elastase was 45 last time) My doctor is saying 2 25000 creon capsules per 10 grams of fat, but I get real bad lower abdominal discomfort when I do that much for just a meal with 10 grams of fat, meanwhile when I try 1 25000 capsule for 10 grams it seems to work better with no discomfort.

Does this sound familiar to people? what is your recommended dose per 10g of fat?

Does anyone have experience with blended bananas?

I know that some things with a lot of fiber can interfere with the digestive enzymes, I found that out the hard way with some pea protein powder that had quite a high fiber content.

I'm thinking of trying 2 medium sized bananas along with some nut butter and a small amount of protein powder as a meal to maybe reach 400 kcal or so.

If anyone has experience with fruit smoothies in general please share!

So right now I'm new at this and am only taking the full dose (1 10000 capsule creon) at the beginning of a meal, I open it and spread it in a teaspoon of apple sauce (I have to do this because I also have mild gastroparesis so pills take a long time to pass through the stomach).

My meals take maximum of 20 minutes to complete. Do the enzymes mix with all the food when I eat for 20 minutes or should I take more enzymes/half the dose after like 10-15 minutes?

Edit: and also is it possible to open up a creon capsule and use only half of the pellets and then save the last half if I close the capsule again?
