Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), a frequent but commonly underdiagnosed and undertreated condition, is defined as a secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bicarbonate insufficient to maintain a normal digestion. Many gastroenterologists lack knowledge about the etiology of EPI, are challenged to differentially diagnose the condition, and are unfamiliar with nuances of treatment. In addition, patient follow-up is lacking, and patients themselves often lack the knowledge needed to practice effective self-management. In this continuing education activity, a web-based “Ace the Case” series, clinicians will be challenged to differentially diagnose and treat patients presenting with non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms.
