Ideal sources for Wikipedia's health content are defined in the guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
Agree, I just made some edits and added many sources relative to EPI in humans. Further editing could be done to make the animal content all in one section. DanaMLewis (talk) 21:15, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Over-reliance on primary sources tagged, and structure created to expand human medical information
Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
I expanded the general and human information slightly, esp. creating a parallel structure so this content could be further expanded. Also, tags were added because the vast majority of veterinary material is from primary sources—apart from 2-3 texts/reviews, all remaining references are primary, including at least two conference proceedings. Use of these constitutes WP:OR, because editors are providing the original research effort to interpret and to chose from among the primary sources for what might constitute the preponderance of scientific opinion. A secondary issue that arises is that the text is overly detailed, and misses the larger points for the particular points that can be made from the particular primary sources and editorial bent of the person doing the OR (in this case, one with canine interests). Best I can do, time and expertise permitting. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 23:16, 20 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

In the Diagnosis and treatment section there is reference made to symptoms impoving and implying that lifelong treatment may not be required. This is not my understanding of the condition
Symptoms usually improve within a few days, but lifelong treatment is required in most cases.
I have researched this subject heavily as my dog suffers from EPI but have never heard of a case where continued treatment is not required.
Suggest this is rewritten to
Symptoms usually improve within a few days, but lifelong treatment is required to manage the condition.
If no-one objects I will make this change 01/09/2014
