I am only 38 and have EPI. It's hard dealing with it. All my blood work is normal and CT scan was normal. My Glucose was high but I wasn't fasting when they took the test. It's hard dealing with this. My GIndr said more and more younger people are getting this likely from the junk in diets. My stool elstate test was 200 when I was diagnosed. It's now over 800 on creon.

@diamondback2k9 200 is very borderline, and the FE1 test isn't especially reliable for borderline cases. And your higher score is normal. Are you sure you have EPI? Avoiding the hassle and cost of PERT might be worth having a second opinion.
