Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficientcy
Digestive Health | Last Active: 5 hours ago | Replies (8)Comment receiving replies
I was diagnosed in May after trying OTC Pancreatic enzymes on my own for digestive issues. Most Drs aren’t very helpful. I’m a little obsessive and think I am limiting my fat too much and am losing weight. The pills are a pain and sometimes I think I’m taking too much although it shouldn’t hurt you unless you have side effects, which I don’t think I do. They have also diagnosed me with Chronic Pancreatitis, which I think is a little over the top.

Docs are not much help at all. I found a website on Facebook that is really awesome. It may not always be a good read because I see so many people in worse shape then myself. But this disease is all trial and error and (the web site) its like having your own drug trial "so to speak". Unfortunately everybody out there is different and no one is a doctor but if it was not for that facebook sight I would be lost because the gastro I have just prescribes. We all need support with this disease, it is a life changer.. Also the fat thing is tough I have a hard time with the good fats they tell us to try because your always messin around with trying to dose it. Were all test tubes. the facebook website is :
