Abstract
Pancreatic maldigestion is triggered by insufficient secretion of pancreatic enzymes, impaired sequence of digestive processes in the upper digestive tract and decreased activity of pancreatic enzymes within the small interstine. Sufficient activity of pancreatic enzymes in the duodenum is indispensible not only for the relief of maldigestion, but also to support adequate synthesis and secretion of some gastrointestinal hormones.
