what is epis
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a condition that occurs when the pancreas fails to provide the necessary amount of digestive enzymes. Due to a lack of these enzymes, people with EPI cannot properly digest the nutrients in food such as fats, proteins, and carbohydrates (maldigestion).PI is associated with uncomfortable gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, like bloating, gas, and oily or greasy diarrhea that floats and is difficult to flush.
