Get tested for EPI (Endocrine pancreatic insufficiency). I was like you for years until finally a new Dr had me have a stool test and came back that I have moderate EPI. There is medicine for this and I am like new now.

I have been tested 3x in the last year for EPI and my Gastro said I don’t have it. However my Endocrinologist said I should take it because sometimes the tests are wrong. My Gastro disagrees. As of right now my Gastro is starting me on Xifacan (not sure spelt that right). If this doesn’t help I may just get a prescription for EPI from my Endocrinologist. Thanks for your help.
