Oooh, a glass bottle! Absolutely PERFECT to send to 1st Grade with DS this fall. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I suspect our pharmacist will repackage it for us or at least provide some plastic bottles for travel or school.

BTW, we still use the albuterol in the brown bottle.

Darn Christian, simple math would tell them that you needed to start off with 2-3 Creon to approx. equal the amount of Lipase you were getting in the MT16's. 3.333 Creon 24 equals the 5 MT16's. Unless of course there was a question of whether you were getting enough MT16.

I sure hope your belly feels better soon. To me, if it's been a month already.... how much adjustment time do they want? Hope the 2-3 of Creon helps. Belly trouble is miserable.

i think the mistake about the dosage was mine-on the bottle it says to take 3-but either i didn't read it, or thought i heard the nurse say something different than what the bottle says.
there was miscommunication all around. we'll see how i do on 3-i guess i'll give it a good week. go from there.
