• abdominal bloating • cramping and pain • diarrhea or loose stools, foul smelling (more than usual) stools • malnutrition. Pancreatic insufficiency can lead to poor absorption of nutrients, especially fat and protein. The treatment for pancreatic insufficiency includes taking digestive enzymes to break down food and absorb nu - trients. Bile Insufficiency Also known as bile acid deficiency or bile salt deficiency, bile insuf - ficiency occurs when the gallbladder does not produce enough bile, or when the small intestine is unable to absorb bile properly. Symptoms of bile insufficiency include:

Supple - menting with fat soluble vitamins A, E, D, and K may be necessary. Replacing bile with bile salts supplements may also be necessary. Supporting Digestion and Gut Health There are many ways to support healthy digestion and good bal- ance within the gut, which is just as important as the process that gets your food there. A natural approach involves supporting the digestive system by ensuring adequate production and availability of bile salts, enzymes, HCl, and more. Here are some tips to enhance digestion nat - urally: 1. Consume a variety of nutrient-dense whole foods, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources, all of which provide the necessary nutrients for digestive enzymes and good bacteria to function optimally. 2. Eat slowly and mindfully, chewing food thoroughly to ensure it breaks down into smaller, more easily digestible pieces. We don’t give our digestive system enough time to release the necessary juices to break our food down when we are distract- ed or eat too quickly. 3. Drink plenty of water to help hydrate the body and prevent constipation. 4. Consume food high in natural digestive enzymes, like papaya, pineapple, and kiwi, all of which help break food down. 5. Supplement with digestive enzymes and/or bile salts. If you realize certain foods are difficult to digest, or digestive issues occur, these supplements can help. 6. Support the production of stomach acid, and thereby the di- gestion of protein and certain minerals, with Betaine HCl sup - plements. Good gut health also benefits from many of these steps, but you can take it further by following these additional recommendations:
