About this test
If you're experiencing signs of malabsorption, stomach cramps, weight loss, malnutrition, or loose fatty stools, then pancreatic insufficiency could be to blame. Pancreatic insufficiency is the inability of the pancreas to deliver enough digestive enzymes to break down food in the intestine so it can be absorbed. Pancreatic elastase tells us how well your pancreas is producing digestive enzymes. Low levels mean you might not be digesting food properly, leading to gut symptoms and nutrient problems. Your test kit for your stool sample and all instructions are posted directly to you.
