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 🙂
