diarrhea.
loose, greasy, bad-smelling stools.
passing excess gas, or flatulence.

Decreased elastase concentration in stool indicates exocrine disruption of the organ such as chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic insufficiency or cystic fibrosis.
The test analyzes the values of the following analytes:
Our Pancreatic Elastase Test gives you information about your exocrine pancreatic function to determine a predominant exocrine disruption of the organ.
We will post you the stool test kit with full instructions.
