I’m becsbuddy and I am going to help Lisa. About 5-6 years ago, I was diagnosed with EPI-exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. I don’t know much about it because when I ask for an appointment with the physician, who performed the colonoscopy and gave me the diagnosis, I’m told that the doctors don’t have office hours! The PA’s do all the office appointments. I was not told this at my 1st appointment or I would have found another doctor. Just last week I was able to get an appointment! Plus I got an appointment with a University of Colorado doctor, who, I hope, will answer all my questions!

The first test: GI Effects/Stool Profiles by Genova Diagnostics. The results show five Functional Imbalance Scores: Maldigestion showed low pancreatic elastase, Inflamation I had no inflamation, Dysbiosis I had bacteria and yeast very high, Metabolic Imbalance showed several imbalances in my gut microbiome and Infection due to bacteria, H Pylori and yeast in the gut microbiome.
The second test: Mycotoxin Panel By Real Time Lab this one showed I had present: Ochratoxin A, Trichothecene, Gliotoxin, and Zearalenone after I had been exposed to mold.
Being treated for all the imbalance in my gut and detox from the mold made a huge change in my life. Of course that did not cure my atrophic pancreas, cysts and EPI and for that I have my MRI every year and I take my pancreatic enzimes.
