I also have an ileostomy and was on Creon for about 2mths before my insurance changed and had to switch it to Zenpep(Have no idea why Zenpep is extremely expensive ) comapred to Creon .When I had surgery done they only thing they had was Creon in the hospital, going back to it I had no problems.They will say take it 30 mins before eatting .I found if I don't and take it right before I eat I have no problems. I've been taking it for the past two years.Just make sure you drink plenty water with it.
