Pancreatitis and exercise

Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis and exercise

pancreatitis

Avatar f tn Thank you for your response! When we took her to the vet 10 days ago, he ran several tests. I am uncertain if that was one of them. He told me she needed to lose weight and I agree but she has been so sick that exercise didn't seem like a good idea. And I have given her some people food to trick her into taking her meds. I am guessing that her pancrease is just sensitive right now and the people food was a bad idea.
Avatar m tn Now its been basically non-stop, confirmed by mri, that it is chronic pancreatitis, and fatty liver. Im being sent to a pain specialist for the pain, and hoping he can offer relief, because Ive been recieving very little help from my doctor with that. Im 5'5", used to be about 138lbs, and now am 162, with gain of 10lbs a month on a low fat diet, no meat, no bread, soft food. I dont understand except unless wieght gain is from thyroid going wrong, im hypothyroid.
Avatar n tn t smoke or drink and control diabetes with diet, exercise and minimum dose of Metformin ER. Fats are very problematic. I need some hope and direction! Any comments appreciated. It is good to hear I am not alone although I do not wish this on anyone. Does anyone have any suggestions or comments?
Avatar f tn Ask what is happening and is this from gallstones and do you have pancreatitis and if so, what can you do and what can you expect. http://www.ddc.musc.edu/public/problems/diseases/pancreas/pancreatitisChronic.cfm I hope this finds you already seen by your endocrinologist and feeling better.
Avatar m tn My internal medicine doctor hasn’t had much to say (“maybe a little inflammation”) and doesn’t appear interested in symptoms (“probably combination gas and stress”). He says it’s taken longer for ALT to fall than expected, but not alarming. Next step is more LFTs, then a GI (until then, waiting game). Would cirrhosis be detected on an U/S? How likely is chronic pancreatitis given these symptoms? Wouldn’t that have shown some abnormalities on the pancreatic enzyme tests?
Avatar n tn Trouble was I had a really bad Nicorette habit. Low and behold I have chronic pancreatitis and if I chew the gum--the pancreatic pain skyrockets. I would say "YES" Nicorette either causes, triggers, or aggrevates pancreatitis.
Avatar m tn Drank too much for several yrs, normal nutrition. Occasional exercise, have stopped due to symptoms below. I wasn’t feeling well, so I went for checkup, which I hadn’t done in a long time. Following test results, quit drinking (2.5 mos ago). Tests: liver enzymes high at initial visit (AST/ALT: 105/90), 2.5 mos later it’s 27/50.
Avatar f tn im now being directed to take a gastric emptying study which i already have had done a year ago and those results were normal..my question is...is here a link between pancreatitis and bile reflux? and if so, would it not be indicative of an obstruction (due to the minor dilation) of my pancreatic duct....is there any remedies or speculation around these test results?
Avatar m tn However, a few weeks after beginning the injections the abdominal pain returned along with all of the other pancreatitis symptoms. I went to my doctor who thoroughly tested me and said I do not have pancreatitis despite the symptoms. I would also add that he does not know what I have and seems to be under the impression I just want drugs. The feelings of things not being real had returned even stronger despite the injections and I am freaking out. Has anyone heard of anything similar?
Avatar n tn I had hyperparathyroidism and it was my understanding that was separate from my thyroid issue. I'm not sure that is clinically correct though. Hope you get more answers.

Avatar m tn I have lost 15 pounds thus far through daily exercise. I decided to step up my exercise a notch and do an hour a day more intensely. For a few weeks I was handling it quite well---good energy, feeling great, but then one day I started to feel a little knot in my upper stomach and a suppression in my desire to eat..I though it was because the exercise endorphins were kicking in and that was a good thing...but after about the 3rd day, after my exercise session, I feel very weak and fatigued...
Avatar n tn t really given much say in the matter, as the pancreatitis was a nasty attack and I was strongly advised to get my gallbladder out asap after it. It was a straightforward procedure, with no after effects. I can't really say I felt better, because apart from the pancreatitis incident, I never had any problems beforehand! I do sometimes suffer with the "dumping syndrome" which, whilst unpleasant, doesn't worry me too much as I believe it's normal.
Avatar f tn t seem to care about the Pneumobilia and one Dr seemed to think its normal and I might have it forever, but I am concerned especially about possible infection coming from the small bowel into the Biliary hepatic vessels and also can this air be causing the ongoing Pancreatitis?
Avatar m tn been suffering from pancreatitis and doctors thinking my gallbladder may be messed up....How common is it to have had a normal HIDA scan with no apparent stones?
Avatar m tn Oily stool that floats is medically called steatorrhea. Pancreatitis and cholangitis are the main cause. Other possibilities are inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn’s, celiac, IBS etc. It can be side effects of slimming pills. Bacterial overgrowth and short bowel syndrome where food passes very quickly can be another cause. Patients with chronic pancreatitis have recurrent abdominal pain of varying intensity along with steatorrhea or oily foul smelling stool.
Avatar n tn I also need a herring explanation please. With Amylase and Lipase both over 5 times normal, gas, deep pain, fatigue and nausea I'm at square one in getting any answers. CT, Colonoscopy, Endoscopy, MRCP, Celiac blood test - all appear normal. When the Gastroenterologist gave me the fish theory it sounded like he thinks it's all a figment of my imagination. I don't smoke or drink and control diabetes with diet, exercise and minimum dose of Metformin ER. Fats are very problematic.
Avatar f tn After my gallbladder was removed I developed acute pancreatitis, now almost 2 yrs later I have chronic pancreatitis and insulin dependant as my pancreas has stopped working, but it sure hurts. Blood/lab tests will show lipase and amylase. CT scan would help diagnos other problems.
Avatar m tn or it could be pancreatitis.. if you've been drinking or hitting NSAD's really hard lately..the pain is pretty high with pancreatitis and you'd be doubled over..but not always. A blood test for pancreatitis can be used if you've been drinking a lot.. either way with an ulcer i'd avoid alchohol/tylenol/asprin like the plague. That'll kill your stomach.
Avatar m tn The other causes could be jaundice if there is yellowish discoloration of skin, food poisoning if the symptoms occurred shortly after taking food, peptic ulcer disease and sometimes cholecystitis and pancreatitis. You can follow up with an abdominal ultrasonography to detect any structural abnormalities. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn You might have pancreatitis. That could cause all 3 symptoms, and the elevated enzymes. Other causes of your symptoms would not likely do that. Make sure your doctor checks you thoroughly for pancreatitis.
Avatar m tn Well I/we know she has a drinking problem, she has started drinking again. She said she researched and drinking Red Wine does not hurt her Pancreatitis. In my feeble attempts of research I have not found anything that supports her thought process. What scares me is she was in a Coma for about 5 weeks and came real close to death for the first week or so, the doctors didn't think she was going to live.
936335 tn?1246412231 Your symptoms could be SO many things including microscopic sludge/stones in the common bile duct, gallbladder problems, Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction, Small Bowel Bacterial Overgrowth, acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis, mininal change chronic pancreatitis, etc., etc., etc. Pancreatic and ductal pain is among the most horrendous pain there is. If you cannot manage your pain, talk to your primary care physician and ask for some medication!
Avatar m tn I thought symptom was for early pancreatitis, but no typical symptoms for that other than the bloating and back pain. I do not see any other cause of back pain associated with bloating in all my research. Bloating (without gas) associated with back pain is an odd combination of symptoms. I am now starting to take ibuprofen for the pain. (I am 68 years old.) Any help on this please? I am at a loss. Thanks, WillPower PS: High to all my Hep C friends of the past!
Avatar f tn I am a 60 year old female who was diagnosed in the late 80s with acute pancreatitis and still have sporadic trouble today in 2014. A few weeks ago I was diagnosed with hcv and was wondering what effects I would have with the two diseases together, for instance if given treatment for my hep-c will it make my pancreas worse or will I even be able to do the hcv treatment at all?
