I am 38 and I have had chronic diaherra for awhile and have googled for an answer. My story was i got to the point where I couldn't eat and lost weight quickly. Went and got a colonospcy and it came back clean. I sucked it up and went to the ER and found an inflamed appendix. Had that removed and issues got better but still remained. Finally got diagnosed with EPI after a few stool test. My CT Scan is showing no issues with my pancreas. My GI Dr is saying they are seeing increase of younger people with this likely due to our diets.

Hi. I’m in my seventies, eat a relatively healthy diet, and I have EPI. Sometimes, organs just stop working properly. I, too, would like to know exactly why, but I’m extremely happy to have figured out my problem after two years of suffering every time I ate. I am on Zenpep, now, but have discovered that in order to remain painfree and diarrhea free, I have to eliminate regular alcohol and coffee consumption from my diet.
Good luck! Btw, some patients have excellent results with Creon, also.
