Support with eating and digestion
Problems with digestion are very common for people with pancreatic cancer. The pancreas plays an important role in digesting food, as it produces enzymes that help to break down food. Pancreatic cancer can reduce the number of enzymes your pancreas makes. This makes it harder for your body to break down (digest) food.
This can cause symptoms like losing your appetite, losing weight, tummy pain or discomfort, and changes to your poo.
You can manage these symptoms using pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), such as the Creon® you have been given in your pack.
It can be confusing trying to manage your diet and PERT, but we are here to help. Below are some ways we can support you.
