Severe Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
Hi, I was in the ER & hospitalized for a couple of days with severe diarrhea & vomiting. After a bunch of tests it turns out I have severe EPI. Normal range for the pancreas is 100-200 ug/g & I’m currently at 2.31 ug/g 😅
Is this life threatening? My GI can’t see me for 5 more days & I feel so sick. I don’t want to go back to the ER. I’ve gone twice. 1st time they said I was making it up & 2nd they hospitalized me. I just really want to avoid having to get my pancreas taken out & being a type 1 diabetic the rest of my life. Please let me know if you have any tips/experience/suggestions. Thank you!!!!
