Please let us know the results of your fecal elastase test. That is what doctors use to diagnose EPI, which I suspect you have.

Thank you for mentioning this…I thought the same as well, but hesitated to say anything. As someone with severe EPI I have been told that this is rare, However I suspect that many have been misdiagnosed with IBS-D as I was for 30 years.
EPI is no joke and the medication is very costly.
Anyone that has the symptoms mentioned above should request testing for EPI, it could save them years of suffering. There is hope with medication and working with registered dietitian with experience concerning EPI.
