Thanks for the info. I do think I digest the fat ok. Fiber too. I’m just so slow to move it out, without Miralax, until lately. Except the fried food helped.
My gastro team aren’t receptive to anything but a colonoscopy. My 2020 one was normal, except then I didn’t have CC. Just some internal hemorrhoids and diverticulosis, which had never bothered me.
I have type 1 diabetes, so my pancreas is messed up. Gastro team nor Endos think that is related to my CC. I’ve discussed it with all several times.
Yes, that definitely could be it, but I do not think it is in my case as I don't have any of the pancreas symptoms. For me, it seems to simply be an intolerance. Certain fats seemingly trigger IBS bathroom runs and others, in modest quantities, do not.
Which enzyme are you on, is it Lipase? And do you have to have a prescription for it?
