Pancreatic Insufficiency is a thing evidently…

Gastroparesis. That has been the culprit...so we thought. Even though Inhave been diagnosed with gastroparesis, it seems as though it is not fully to blame for my symptoms.

Orders have been sent for me to poop in a container and mail ot off. Do you think USPS, FedEx or UPS are fully aware of the "shot" they are delivering? Ha ha ha

What is "Pancreatic Insufficiency?"

Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) is a condition which occurs when the pancreas does not make enough of a specific enzyme the body uses to digest food in the small intestine. The pancreas is a glandular organ. That means the pancreas secretes juices that maintain the proper function of the body.

What does it mean for you if/when it is confirmed as pancreatic insufficiency?

It is not life threatening except that it processes food differently every time I eat including my kidney medications. Once it is officially diagnosed, I will have to take a pill/capsule containing enzymes to help with the condition. It will be one more step in the right direction.

If you have any questions, please let me know!
