Elastase down from 44 to 7 in 4 weeks.

[Angieannie]

Hi, just got received elastase result which was 7 and am now panicking.  This suggests that I possibly blockage somewhere. I also have pressure on my right hand side below my ribs. 

No other diagnosis as yet other than pancreatic insufficiency. Consultant has given me Creon. 
In 2018 I had major bowel surgery for cancer and was given a bag for life so I now have a permanent stoma.
