Creative mode in game freezing-after 1.10.1 update

Ever since Minecraft update of 1.10.1, the game action freezes every 5 minutes or so. Sometimes when it unfreezes, the avatar will have no control, either going upward or forward and its difficult to stop the action. I play all my games in the creative mode as I like to build villages-this constant freezing makes play difficult.

Please advise how to fix or if I need a patch, etc
