Eileen08 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 HiJust wondering if anybody had had this problem. I was expecting fat malabsorption after my Whipples and having to take pancreatic enzymes. However, I never needed them and haven't used them since the very early days. However, suddenly before Christmas I had terrible trouble with loose, smelly stools and liquid fat being passed. My doctor cannot see any reason for the change and if I take Creon things much better, but I worry about the cause of this sudden change. Tests for cancer, etc have all come back normal and my diet hasn't changed. Horrible topic but I'd be interested if anyone else has had a similar problem.

Sones Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hi EileenI'm only 1.5 years post whipple and do need to take Creon so unable to answer your question. However, if your interested there is a whipples survivors group on Facebook, I joined last week and have found it very helpful. Sue.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
