This is such a wonderful post to wake up to! I am so glad that you found the CREON! And you can have the time you need to import Diane's enzymes. Thank you for the great news!

Hello Dani, Olesia, and everyone else.

This is my first time here, I registered because of Dani’s post. My Bonnie takes Creon everyday. 4 capsules daily. I am currently living in Playa del Carmen Mexico and I have access to pharmacies that have Creon in stock.

Please let me know if it would be possible for me to ship them for you from Mexico to Chile.

I have never shipped medication anywhere so I am not familiar with anything about it. Let me know if I can help you and your little one. Great luck.

Hi Rod..... OMG.... that is such a beautiful, thoughtful caring and generous offer.... i am going to contact Dani privately (just in case she has not seen your post) and tell her to check in . If this is something that can be worked out between you and Dani, i suspect you would need to first need to contact your postal service and ask them can you send pills to Chili... and Dani would have to check with her postal to make sure there would not be a problem with her receiving the pills in the mail. I personally have mailed CREON capsules ... but every country is different so you probably should check first...........

Again, thank you so much!!!! The kindness of EPI parents, like you, constantly amazes!
Olesia, was owned by Izzy, a 35lb Spanish Water Dog (SWD), Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.. Izzy passed away on February 13, 2020 at 15 years old. She lived with EPI for 13+1/2 years. It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........

Oh my god, thank you so much! this is such a kind offer! I'm so overwhelmed right now someone from other country took the time to actually offer shipping creon to me! This community sure is amazing! :D <3

Sadly, Chile is SO finicky about importing medication, it will get confiscated unless I declare it first, and for that, I need a special permission. I did the calls and I'm currently doing the paperwork to import enzymes from this website so I won't run out of creon again https://www.chemeyes.co.uk/product/panc ... me-powder/

I contacted Diane and she told me it would be easier for me trying to import from them. I think it is, because from the calls I made to the chilean customs, they didn't seem reluctant at all, once I explained Riley's condition and sent the website so they could check it out. I need to submit a vet's recommendation letter, plus a prescription and some other paperwork and then I will be able to buy from the website a couple of times a year.

Even tho it's not possible, thank you so so so much for your offer!
