I have pancreatic insufficiency. The doctors are not good at diagnosing it. One of the symptoms is poop the consistency of peanut butter. More severe symptoms are abdominal pain and diarrhea. I take pancreatic enzymes which contain lipase, protease and amylase. If I am doing dairy I must take lactase. The best way to be sure is take these enzymes and see if you get better. Amazon sells them for around $20. I take 2 capsules at every meal. The prescription meds like Creon are very expensive.
