Good afternoon to you all,

Just wondering if anyone has, had faecal Elastese test? Have the results been low or has anyone been diagnosed with Pancreas insufficiency ?

I have read up, but it seems there isn’t much information whether it is connected to Systemic sclerosis.

I am suffering with GI symptoms and been told I have GERDs and dysmotility but I am also suffering with upper quadrant discomfort and loose stools and sometimes urgency and I go ,on average at least3 times a day, my faecal Elastese test came back low and I have repeated it this week and await the results.

Any insight or information would be appreciated.

Thanks to you all on the webpage for your support and wisdom.
