Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency may result in urgency and foul smelling steatorrhea that is difficult to flush. The simplest way of diagnosis is by observing the response to therapy with high dose pancreatic enzymes. We here describe two different cases of exocrine insufficiency in elderly patients who earlier had some form of pancreatic surgery. These cases illustrate the varying presentations of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and how proper history taking can help to cure this debilitating condition.
