Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis and other conditions that affect the pancreas cause exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). People with EPI don’t have enough pancreatic (digestive) enzymes to break down foods and absorb nutrients. It can lead to malnutrition. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) can help.
Detailed explanation-2: -EPI is associated with celiac disease and is a recognized cause of chronic diarrhea [82]. The prevalence of EPI ranges from 4% to 80% in patients with untreated celiac disease [1].
