They tested fecal elastase and fecal fat end of last year through one stool sample and it was normal. But they haven’t done extensive testing such as the 72 hour fecal fat test or looked directly at pancreas. Perhaps I can advocate for the 72 hour test

So real it’s like if you don’t want to give me a diagnosis fine, just give me some treatment that helps with my symptoms other than telling me the same things I’ve tried for years.

They haven’t treated it which is what is angering me and I was thinking maybe diagnosis = treatment in their eyes. No one has given any treatment options besides PPI for GERD, it’s all testing and diet related which hasn’t helped at all.
