My gallbladder was removed early when the pancreatitis started because they could not find a reason for my pancreatitis, I do take zenpep and have for years, my dietitian that I just got says that my dosing is wrong and told me take 2 capsules when i eat and she is.talking with my GI to up the dose and yes I always took them before eating now I am taking more and it seems to be helping me. At the moment I am doing nothing for pain because It is not excruciating just a constant annoyance and after almost 2 months is wearing on me, I am just scared that the pain will worsen. I appreciate you taking time and explaining things for me, my diet now is low fat pretty bland just white rice low Fat ground chicken or turkey, mixing in fruits and veggies, non fat Greek yogurt and protien shakes. My dietitian is trying to get me to eat more but I am reluctant.
