enzyme problems? or other?

so ive been taking creon for a couple years now.
and recently in the past 2 months ive been having problems.
i would take 3capsules of 24 with meals and i had greasy stool.
so i went up to 4capsules and was fine but noticed i had problems with going to the bathroom.
now im taking 2capsules with meals and ive noticed that i am GAINING weight and eating a lot less than i used to. BUT im having constipation issues but i am going once a day and feeling like im full all the time as well as bloating.
ughh!! so frustrating.

problem with creon?
maybe having bowel problems period?
i have no idea.
ive been trying to get ahold of my dr. but every time he tries to call me im either working or in class.

Maybe you have some kind of blockage. Try drinking some magnesium citrate (from the drug store- super cheap) to clean out your system. Make sure you have plenty of free time- it's supposed to make you poop a lot! My dr described it to me as a "system reset". Basically you clean out all of your bowels in case of blockage or anything that's not coming out and start all over from empty.
