The pancreas makes about 15 digestive enzymes and not all of them can be replaced. I take Creon 3-4 capsules before each meal. My physician says If I am having loose stools, that contains Fat or Oily to increase the Creon as necessary and I have found that this helps alot I know that these meds are very expensive. Some drug companies will offer a discount price. If you need any help with this do not hesitate to e mail me linda@hagemanfoundation.org At this time we have had a generous benefactor that will double any donations that we recieve until January 15,1012. Wvwey little bit helps even a small donation will help us to keep this non profit going. Thank-You for your support Linda Dear Melissa,

Although there is a 50/50 chance of the child inheriting the MEN genetic mutation. If a family is informed about MEN then the children can have regular medical checkups. MEN Type 1 usually does not produce any symptoms until a person is an adult. There are several new advances for the treatment of MEN. We will be presenting new information on the new websites we are working on at this moment for American Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Support www.amensupport.org so be sure to check back after the first of the year.
