Hello Anon

Thank you for writing!

EPI stands for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. This is a medical condition that occurs when the pancreas doesn’t produce enough digestive enzymes — the critical proteins that help your body break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats in your food and convert them into nutrients.

We have an excellent article on this topic as well as information on how to live with this condition - please copy and paste this link and let us know what you think:
