Thank you for highlighting this area! There are few doctors that really understand the impact of EPI. Dr. Freedman also has an in depth article on Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency written with Dr. Struyvenberg that anyone with EPI should read. Another really helpful resource was the book Primal Pancreas.
Over a decade have had issues with fats. Purchased book fats that heal fats that kill. Issues with bad and good fats. Noticed that 36 hours after eating at restaurants I would get back pain every time. G.I. issues got worse and worse. I would get sick with fried foods and could not eat above a low fat diet. Had a Exocrine Pancreas Insufficiency test that was well below 200. Normal range 200-1000. Got retested around 50. Put on enzymes. Improvement but still cannot eat fats. Recently bone density test and checked level of fat soluble vitamins normal.
Mine came at 190 . Should I be worried every time I eat something greasy my stools look aorangy and float (steatorrhea) I'm worried about it do you recommend something?
@@venomxx1451 My doctors put me on pancreatic enzymes. Zenpep. Retested a couple weeks ago. Improved to 73. Talk with your doctor.
I am having just a loose stool to diarrhea issue. No surgeries, I have a gal bladder. Just started about a year ago. I think I am having an issue with trans, sat, fats protein and some dairy. Either one of these are all, not sure because I can tolerate all foods it’s just at different times I can eat them and then others I can’t. IT’s like my enzymes in the pancreas are not fully working anymore and I wonder if EPI would be a good thing for me. Anyone else with a similar issue? Any pointers to what I should do next? My gastro just said to take more fiber. It’s not really making a difference.
Just add Ox bile and treatment plan is complete. Thank me now.
Really is a daily struggle having epi. No amount of creon helps. Pain, nausea, gas, greasy stool. Every day, no relief. I wish perts worked for me 😕
I feel the same im scare and feel alone and wonder if is going to be good with time o worse 😢
I have EPI too. I have heard that changing which PERT you are taking can help if the one you're taking isn't working well enough. Just a thought.
@@maryharrington1857 I have heard this too but unfortunately in my part of the world, creon is the only one available. Thanks for suggesting though 🙂
