The health of your body depends on its ability to digest food properly. When the food is not digested properly, multiple ailments begin to besiege your body. When you experience symptoms that represent problems with your digestion, you need to get a digestion test done. Digestion breaks down the food that you have eaten into various nutrients including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and even water. Then proteins further break into amino acids and carbohydrates break into simple sugars and fats break into fatty acids and glycerol, and so on. Digestion is a complex process and multiple organs are involved. Problems with any one of the processes or the organs can have a negative impact on your digestion. Take for example pancreas; during digestion the pancreas make pancreatic juices called enzymes. Pancreas also help your digestive system by making hormones, the chemical messengers that travel through your blood. Pancreatic hormones also help your body regulate sugar levels and appetite, stimulate stomach acids and also instruct your stomach when to empty. Problems with your pancreas can be diagnosed with an amylase test.

One of the prominent digestion tests is the Amylase blood test. This test is used to diagnose and monitor acute pancreatitis. It is a blood test. The test is done to measure the amount of amylase in a person’s blood. These are digestive enzymes that help the body break down carbohydrates. These enzymes are produced both by pancreas and salivary glands.

This test is important because the pancreas perform two critical functions – secrete the fluids that are needed to break down the food in the small intestine and they also aid in metabolizing proteins and fats. Further, the pancreas also produce insulin which assists in carrying the sugar in the bloodstream and turn it into energy.

Another test that is important is the lipase test for your digestive system. Lipase is another form of enzyme made by your pancreas. When you eat something, it is a lipase enzyme that breaks down fat in the food.It maintains the optimum levels of energy in your body. To find if there is something wrong in the levels of lipase, you should get a lipase test done.

Some symptoms that may indicate that there is some problem in your digestive system in general and the pancreas in particular include

Loss of appetite
GERD
Fever
Pain in the upper abdomen
Nausea and vomiting
