Can Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency (PEI) Cause Malabsorption? - Pancreatic Health Network
Can Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency (PEI) Cause Malabsorption? In this informative video, we discuss the impact of Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency (PEI) on digestion and nutrient absorption. PEI occurs when the pancreas fails to produce enough digestive enzymes, which are vital for breaking down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. This condition can lead to malabsorption, where essential nutrients from food are not adequately absorbed into the bloodstream, resulting in various digestive symptoms and potential nutritional deficiencies. We will explore the common causes of PEI, including chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic cancer, and other factors that may affect enzyme production. Understanding how PEI affects the body is important for those dealing with pancreatic health issues or pancreatic cancer, as malabsorption can complicate treatment and overall health. Managing PEI often involves pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, which can significantly improve digestion and nutrient absorption. Lifestyle changes and nutritional support are also critical components of effective management. If you suspect you may have PEI or are experiencing related symptoms, it is essential to seek guidance from a healthcare professional.
