35% of dyspepsia are unresolved dyspepsia, which are a symptom of the early stage of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency.

Based on clinical experience, we can suspect and detect chronic pancreatic insufficiency at an early stage, which is the aim of this

report of the patient.
Results
Results confirms significance and effectiveness of creon as an enzyme replacement therapy in the treatment of malabsorption
and maldigestion.
Conclusion
Creon (pancreatin) showed great effect in the treatment of dyspepsia and anorexia nervosa, body mass index (BMI) for 30 days
