If you were in my clinic and presented with this problem I would discontinue the ORNI O as soon as possibly. So many serious side-effects attributable to the drug that the FDA took it off the market in the United States. Yes, you do have alternatives to replacing the enzymes your pancreas is not secreting.,
Have you ever been on pancreatic enzyme replacement and are you on the vitamins that typical are malabsorbed by pacreatic patients? You need to be on a medication or supplement that contain lipase, amylase and protease. the diarrhea is because you still don't have enough pancreatic enzymes. The vitamins to be concerned about most are the fat-soluble ones particularly, ADEK. Once you see your doctor and get on the proper enzyme medication and supplement program, it may be beneficial to followup with a dietitian to help figure out the foods that may be problematic and suggest replacements, meal plan suggestions,etc. E-dietitians are avaiable now! Anyway, nice chatting with you. . .
