I also developed EPI having covid and 3 months of diarrhea. There is a connection between covid and EPI. I am finding it fairly easy to manage the creon pills and eating healthy food.
I miss having a glass of wine, but can manage the non drinking aspect of this disease.
I just had a blood test that shows low vitamin E. So I'm working on that. I hope you are managing.

I don't have an appointment at Mayo Clinic. I just subscribe to the email newsletter for information. I'm not sure what more I can learn about having EPI. My elasticity test was 123, which is near the chronic number of 100. I get periodic blood tests to show the state of my health and my vitamin level. I eat what is recommended for EPI and have ordered all the cook books and information books I could find on Amazon. I follow a careful diet and maintain my weight. I drink a premium protein drink every day and take a multiple vitamin, calcium/D pill, probiotic. At 82 years old, I have energy and walked 4.5 miles yesterday. Gather as much information you can find on EPI.
