The Diarrhea Relief can certainly help if your dog has inflammation in the digestive tract and loose stool. However, EPI (Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency), is an issue with malabsorption of nutrients from food due to insufficient secretion of pancreatic enzymes. For this we recommend three supplements and a healthy diet. First, consider our Daily Multi Plus that provides digestive enzymes, probiotics and a wide range of additional nutrients. Next, we suggest additional enzymes from our Systemic Enzymes formula. While the directions for this supplement indicate its use between meals, for EPI we want you to open the capsules and mix these enzymes into your dog's food. Lastly, we suggest our Pancreas Glandular to provide pancreas-specific nutrients to support this important organ. Finally, we address diet and a whole food diet is easier to digest and provides more appropriate nutrients for your dog, This can be accomplished by home-preparing a diet or using a premix to which you add your own meat (raw or lightly cooked) and we offer advice in our article How to Feed Your Dog.
