Digestive Issues

Posted by diamondback2k9 @diamondback2k9, 1 day ago

I have been dealing with Chronic diherra.
I had my appendix removed and got put on Creon which had cleared up by diaherra issues. All of blood work has been normal expected my Total Protein which is slightly elevated at 8.3. Reviewing my past test its always been higher. My bilirubin levels are normal but I have noticed they are slowly increasing every time besides one. I have at CT scan and everything was normal. I can't get panarctic cancer out of mind even though my Dr. said I am okay. I typically do not drink at all but two days before my test I did have quite a bit on a night out. Im wondering if this could have elevated my Protein and Billirbrin test? I have been feeling great since every starting Creon and getting back to my normal weight. Not sure if I should worried or not? I generally feel well

@diamondback2k9 Having this type of issue can really change your lifestyle around. I see in another post you made, you were diagnosed with EPI [Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency] What did your doctor suggest to you on this diagnosis, how to handle it and what to eat?

They didn't talk about my diet. They only gave me creon and that has been very helpful.

They believe my EPI is indopatic no underlying cause as my CT scans where clean
