I have EPI. You really hit home with me. No one is following up on me. I probably call the gastroenterologist and set up an appt. Been taking Zenpep for 2 months. Cost is outrageous. Thanks again for a clear, concise presentation on EPI❤
I’ve had chronic pancreatitis and EPI for 10+ years, and have a different issue lately: weight loss, little appetite, and muscle wasting (sarcopenia-Thanks for the new word!). My Gastro APRN says take the enzymes, but no other advice. Would a nutrition consult help? The RD’s in my area have no experience with EPI, so I’m also asking where do I look, please.
Thank you so much! This was so informative. Have never had the condition fully explained to Me and was recommended this video through support groups. Thank you for explaining it so accurately and helping us fully understand what is happening within our bodies!
Porcine Pig source of PERT unfort contains alpha gal protein. which many are allergic to..I wish the GalSafe Pig CO, Revivicore would make PERT w their GalSafe pigs.. Im going ask Mylan Viatris abt GalSafe PERT R&D
EPI tested twice well below normal range of 200-1000. All symptoms except flatulence. Five or more stools per day. If I eat fat they float. Before PERTs foul smelling sometimes. Have tested fat soluble vitamins levels and bone density. Dental health has declined greatly this last year. Was put on FODMAP diet and many lab test. Before EPI test my mental health was questioned and was drug tested. Still having issues.
me too, I go like 6 times to the toilet, anything I eat immediately comes out, anything liquid triggers diarrhea, I have type 1 diabetes, osteoporosis, severely underweight
Thanks for more info. I just got a test result back that mine is quite low… I have struggled with issues of IBS and only now finally charting a path to recovery / treatment.. to be continued but- I guess knowledge is power and I’ll have to get some more enzymes somehow someway!
