Check out Overview - EPI * Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency

There is information there on:
EPI
SIBO/ARD

To diagnose those there is a 12 hour fasting blood test that goes to Texas A/M (typically).

It could be coccidia: Coccidia which is what I am thinking they said it was?

Or here are others:
CDC - Parasites - Alphabetical Index of Parasitic Diseases

Those things might show up on a fecal test, or a fecal PCR test: CDC - Parasites - Alphabetical Index of Parasitic Diseases

I did have a dog with giardia years ago, which has a different treatment, and she was like a garden hose. ONE drink out of a puddle! ONE! Now my dogs know they aren't allowed.

Sounds like you want more info and good for you.
