pancreatic enzymes deficiency
Pancreatic enzymes deficiency refers to a condition where the pancreas fails to produce or releases insufficient amounts of digestive enzymes, such as amylase, lipase, and protease. This deficiency hampers the breaking down of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in the food we consume, making it challenging for the body to absorb essential nutrients and resulting in digestive problems and malabsorption.
