These symptoms are often greatly reduced, or even eliminated, when you take pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) along with meals and make changes to your diet. But even when you take enzymes and follow a prescribed diet, you may still experience some distressing symptoms. The good news is that certain lifestyle habits can help reduce these symptoms. While their effectiveness may depend on the precise cause of your symptoms, these habits are always beneficial for your overall health. Dietary changes or adjustments in enzyme dosing may help curb EPI symptoms. But don’t attempt to make treatment changes on your own. Work closely with your doctor to determine the best way to manage your EPI.
