"Hi,

I've had EPIC D for 3 or 4 years and finally about 1 1/2 years ago was given Questran, which is amzing!  But, like some of the other posts I've read it doesn't seem to be completely effective,

I started on three doses a day but that seemed too much.  Also, the original Doc who prescribed didn't tell me whether to take before or after the meal!  He retired and the Doc that replaced him hasn't told me either, but about six months ago I read (somewhere on the web) you're suppose to take it 45 minutes before eating.  Anyone have any thoughts about that?  A pharmacist  told me to take it right before I eat.    Also, I'm on Creon - a digestive enzyme for pancreatic insufficiency"
