So, now I'm nervous.

Ellie did have pancreatitis in January (diagnosed during an unrelated ultrasound0. Her lipase was up in October and I elected to do the Spec cPL. Her number is perfect. No pancreas issues right now. She is still having loose stools and that whole mess even on Metro and I'm thinking, should we do the TLI? If it doesn't get better after Metro, probiotics and diet change, we have to consider intestinal biopsy. Should we do more blood work first???

I'm glad you insisted on more blood work.
It is definately true that you have to research for yourself.
We probably wouldn't know about Ellie's high bile acids if I hadn't requested the test just because her symptoms weren't severe or exactly clinical.
