Product Description:
A faecal elastase test is a simple stool test used to assess how well your pancreas is producing digestive enzymes. If the pancreas is not producing enough enzymes, food cannot be broken down and absorbed properly, leading to a range of gastrointestinal symptoms. This test is particularly helpful when symptoms suggest possible Pancreatic Enzyme Insufficiency (PEI) or fat malabsorption.
