Hi,
Fat globules positive means lipase enzyme deficiency.is your child having other symptoms as failure to thrive or respiratory problems. If so fecal elastase along with sweat chloride test has to be done to rule out cystic fibrosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Prasanna Lakshmi, Pediatrician
