Episodic pain + steatorrhea (exocrine failure: low trypsin) + diabetes (endocrine failure) with normal amylase/lipase is chronic pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis would raise amylase/lipase. A neuroendocrine tumor would not cause global exocrine failure, and cystic fibrosis is unlikely to present for the first time at 55.
