Detailed explanation-1: -In people with chronic pancreatitis, the pancreas may not function normally, leading to difficulty processing fat in the diet (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency). This can cause loose, greasy, foul-smelling stools that are difficult to flush.
Detailed explanation-2: -For a qualitative test, the lab checks a single stool sample under a microscope to count the number of fat globules, or droplets. For a quantitative test, you collect stool samples usually over a period of 3 days. These samples are measured to find the total amount of fat in your stool each day.
Detailed explanation-3: -A fecal fat test measures the amount of fat in your feces or stool. The concentration of fat in your stool can tell doctors how much fat your body absorbs during digestion. Changes in stool consistency and odor can indicate that your body isn’t absorbing as much as it should.
