    There are other causes for your low levels...I found this, hope it is helpful...

    "The results of the lipase test will vary based on the laboratory completing the analysis. The normal range of lipase is typically under 140 units per liter (U/L), although there are minor differences from lab to lab. Depending on your specific health issues, as well as age, values as high as 200 U/L may be considered normal. Your doctor will explain what results are considered normal for you.

    You may have a health condition that blocks the flow of lipase from your pancreas if the results of your lipase test are higher than normal. Examples include:

    gallstones

    a bowel obstruction

    celiac disease

    cholecystitis

    an ulcer

    gastroenteritis

    pancreatitis

    pancreatic cancer

    Lipase tests that consistently show low lipase levels, or values below 110 U/L, may indicate the presence of other health conditions that can affect your pancreas. In particular, decreased levels of lipase may indicate the presence of cystic fibrosis.

    The lipase test can provide important health information. Your doctor will most likely order this test if they’re concerned about your pancreas or a digestive disorder."
