I had low lipase levels for 10+ years without physicians knowing what was wrong. They all assumed only high lipase levels were of concern, even though I questioned them. Creon is helping.
Soooo what did you do about it?
Just add Ox bile and treatment plan is complete. Thank me now.
Good to see more coverage on this as most doctors have no clue. There is an in depth article on EPI written by Dr. Freedman and Dr. Struyvenberg that anyone with EPI should read. Another really helpful up-to-date resource on EPI is the book Primal Pancreas.
99% of doctors these days are totally clueless. If whats wrong is not staring them in the face they have no clue
My doctor never diagnosed it, I had to tell the doctor and then he wrote the prescription for the enzymes and my diarrhea stopped within 2 days.
1:38 Love this question, The main problem and frustration why so many people end up looking for answers themselves.
What happen If you have this for a long time
I still have a hard time even using the word "diarrhea". (EPI patient myself)
Please help and tell me did you have weight, muscle loss and or bad fatigue?
I ask because my Elastase levels in stool came back low ( 160's ) and I have been unwell with all I asked about for over 3 months now!... and they want to give me Creon.
My doctor said that most people with this are or have been diabetic for years. it's weird cuz I got back surgery through my stomach and now I have epi which I was constipated before constantly
If I'm not pooping my stomach is bloated and cramping like I'm 3 months pregnant awful feeling
Just got diagnosed with this and microscopic coltis! Along with failed back surgery! Blood issues
I have it. I did the stool test. Easiest text I ever took. Do it today.
Hey how are you now ? How are you managing it ?
What test did you get?
@@JoseRubio-xq4ub fecal elastase 1 .
@@harsh_adukiaPlease help with an answer for myself. Did you have fatigue, weakness feeling and weight/muscle loss?
@@SarahSmith-hd8kd It was before cholecystectomy, I suspect due to Covid. No long term signs, no weight loss specifically, weakness and fatigue: a little bit.
Note after surgery, it went to normal.
I may have this. See a doctor in a week
What a nightmare.
