Hi
i have pancreatic insufficiency and taken Creon. I find I have to follow low fat even with a lot of Creon. I think the vegan diet really helps because it avoids alot of fat if I keep nuts and avocados to a minimum. I have fat malabsorption. Anyone else with this problem? Fat malabsorption from fecal 3day test. Should I ask for endoscopic ultrasound?
Thanks!

Hello, Winter Wish. I'm sorry that I don't have an answer for you, but I hope I can ask you a question. What was it that sent you to the doctor and diagnosed with fat malabsorption? I have occasional problems that I think might be related to what I eat, especially if it was a fat-dense meal. I think my diet is good with simple foods, but sometimes I indulge.
Steateorra or fatty pale stools, it's really not pleasant! Vegan diet because it's low in fat really helps, eating out is difficult. Get bloods checked for fat soluble vitamins and ferritin. If I ate a particularly high fat eg pizza etc it would be really greasy output.
