Gastroparesis and EPI related?

Hi Yukisun,
So sorry that you are fighting the same battles. I think I may have it a bit easier than you do though. I take Creon as well, and it has really helped me up my food intake. I do have loose stools occasionally, but my biggest battle is with constipation and just lack of interest in food.

If you don’t mind my asking, how old are you, and how long have you had each condition? I’m 65, and symptoms began 4-5 years ago. I was diagnosed with EPI about a year ago, then gastroparesis 3-4 months later. No known cause, though I do have an autoimmune disorder and have had multiple abdominal surgeries in the past.

Wishing you healthier days ahead!

Susan

@susanh824 - how are things going with the EPI and gastroparesis? Are you still on pancrelipase (Creon)?

@bzinzy - how are you? How's your appetite?
