Background

In Western Medicine

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency(EPI) is a digestive disorder involving the pancreas and the enzymes it produces. Enzymes are chemicals released to bring about a specific chemical reaction, and the pancreas secretes many different enzymes that serve different purposes. In EPI, the pancreas does not produce enough of the enzymes needed to digest food. Without this breakdown, an individual cannot absorb the necessary nutrients and vitamins. This leads to diarrhea, vitamin deficiency, and weight loss.

In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)

TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) considers (Acute pancreatitis) AP to be categorized as epigastric pain, splenic precordial pain, splenopyretic disease, and knotted chest disease. The principle of treatment in TCM is to clear away the heat (heat as a pathogenic factor that causes heat pattern/syndrome) and expelling superficial heat, supplementing qi (vital energy) and nourishing yin (body fluid), activating blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis and inner communication and purgation. Eating too much Yin-type food, which is synonymous with the cold property, increases the Stomach Cold Qi(chi) uprising. Emotions and other factors such as diet, lifestyle, environmental and hereditary factors also contribute to the development of imbalances that cause AP.

Symptoms

Different individuals may experience different symptoms, including:
- chest tight, bloating after eating, beer belly, love to eat sweet
- love to eat, but can not be digested and have a bloated belly
- multi bowel movement within a day and sometimes seen undigested food in the bowel

- pancreatic insufficiency

Diet & Prevention

Eat similarly portioned meals 3 times a day at regularly designated times. Stop eating before you are full. Under eat, just a little bit, so you don’t overstrain your digestive system. For optimal health, strive to eat light, balanced meals that are easy to digest. Lastly, avoid going to bed soon after eating. Allow at least 2 ½ hours between eating your last bite and going to bed. It is best to avoid eating sweet, uncooked (raw), greasy, dairy, and pungent food, deep-fried foods, pickled or heavily spiced foods, and burnt meat.
