This is an excellent post. I was recently diagnosed with EPI and meeting with a nutritionist who understands this condition was essential. Most nutritionists deal with diabetes and weight problems. I also have Celiac Disease - CD has a much higher rate of EPI than the general population.

Most of the information I have gained about this condition has been from reading medical journals (my background is in traumatic brain injury and vestibular dysfunction - so I am fortunate and have access to medical journals). One thing I found out - which none of my doctors told me is that the medication for Hasimoto's thyroid condition interferes with L-Thyroxine. I changed the timing of my L-thyroxine to late at night - 4 hours after eating.

It is interesting to see how many people on this thread note that their physicians were not much help at all. I found the same thing - and it has been extremely frustrating.

For many people, reading medical articles - if you are not accustomed to these types of articles - can be intimidating. But it really is essential to understanding EPI - because we cannot rely on the medical community for our own health needs.
