Checking Pancreatic Elastase
- Get your pancreatic elastase levels checked to assess digestive health.
- If levels are below optimal (over 500), consider pancreatic enzyme supplements while addressing the root cause.
Pancreas Functions and Health
- The pancreas has dual functions: endocrine (producing hormones like insulin) and exocrine (producing digestive enzymes).
- High sugar and flour intake overstimulates insulin production, increasing risks for various health problems.
