Floating stool, unintended weight loss, feel full relatively quickly

Have you been tested for Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency???
Please review my profile for my experience if you are not familiar with EPI.
Just a thought, it’s commonly misdiagnosed as IBS-D.
All the best

Hi Geannydee,
My pancreas looked fine on ultrasound. After doing some intense research on my own, I do believe I have EPI. My doctor sent home the stool fat testing kit, and I am awaiting clarification from his nurse on how exactly to test. I was a bit overwhelmed by the need to eat 100-150 fats a day, and I used to love sweets!
How long have you been diagnosed? I’m a bit scared by you comments on the cost of the medication. I am already disabled by other causes and live on Social Security and a small pension. Am hoping that, if I do have EPI, that I qualify for help from the drug company, as well.
Wishing you the best of health’
Susan
