I was diagnosed with EPI: Need advice on diet, other management

Posted by pennie225 @pennie225, Sep 5, 2023

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.

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?
