Why These Signs Often Go Unnoticed
The pancreas works quietly behind the scenes. When enzyme production dips, symptoms can start gradually and mimic everyday digestive ups and downs or other common conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. Studies note that symptoms may only become obvious once significant malabsorption occurs.
