Question : My husband has pancreatic cancer, and has had the whipple procedure in 2012. Was cancer free until this little alien popped up again three months ago. It has not metastasized. Thank God. He's been on Creon since Dec 2012. but at a lower dose. This increased dose started in March 2016. He takes 3-4 capsules (24,000 per capsule) with each meal and 1 capsule with snacks. At first he was taking the capsules with water, then with refrigerated applesauce. Now he think it's ok to mix with yogurt. We are constantly arguing about the most effective method.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
First, it is most important to take it during the meal or right after it.
It can be mixed with yoghurt and it wont lose its effect. It can also be mixed with liquids such as apple juice or orange juice. So you dont need to be worried about this. Wish you good health. Regards
