I was diagnosed with EPI: Need advice on diet, other management
After being diagnosed with severe EPI I was told to follow a diet that has no meat , no fish , no dairy and nothing fried. Other members in my household eat what they want and mealtimes are depressing.

When on pert treatment will the fat exzyme poop test numbers stay low or over several months go back up, ex mine started 145 then 3 months later went to 450, then 3 months later 734? Dr says should stay low! On two-three creon 36000 per meal, one creon per snack. Took over a year to stableize.
I’m sorry I cannot respond to you because there is no question? I presume you wish to discuss something but it isn’t very clear!
Recently diagnosed with EPI…trying to understand my new life of eating, etc.
Hi @mehere7, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! It is great to see you here finding others to share experiences with.
I do not have EPI but do have my own diet to work with. I treat it like an episode of “Chopped”, stock my kitchen with ingredients my body likes. This way, whoever is cooking knows nothing is off limits. I hope this is a bit of inspiration for you: https://www.everydayhealth.com/hs/exocrine-pancreatic-insufficiency-pictures/healthy-meals-to-manage-epi/
What is your biggest obstacle right now?
