Pancreatic Elastase 1 test is abnormal

My pancreatic elastase result showing a 164mcg which is abnormal.

Is it true that it's not always a diagnose of pancreatic insufficiency even if it's abdominal?

      I'm glad you had no stones. What is your pain like on a daily basis? Do you feel pain, nausea, bathroom issues right after you eat?

      Do you feel like "something is wrong" with you?
