pancreatitis
In addition, I am a brittle diabetic and take 6 insulin shots per day. I also suffer from chronic pancreatitis and the dye in CT scans always sends me into acute pancreatitis. I have been told by my panc specialist not to allow them to use dye on me anymore because of that. And I have moderate aortic stenosis which will require open heart surgery at some point.

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. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. In the meantime take oral fluids.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Instantly my stomach bloated incredibly (take a look at my pics to see before and after pictures) and I was in such severe... [More] pain I could not even walk. My mom told me it was probably just gas, but three and a half years later after EVERY single time I eat or drink ANY amount of anything my stomach bloats to the extent to where I can't even walk, I have horrible nausea and nothing seems to have worked.
Had CT scan 2 weeks ago which showed significant inflammation in terminal ileum and old pancreatitis with calcification. Gastroscopy last week showed oesphagitis.Biopsies taken. MRI scan Nov 2007 showed two strictures in small intestine. Gastro has advised following until I see him in clinic 23 July:
Double my mtx injections to 25 mg weekly.
Add budesonide 9 mg daily
Start elemental diet of Fortijuice today.
Eat low residue diet if I can manage it.
Have another MRI scan asap.
My niece is scheduled to have an ERCP to discover the reason for abdominal pain and pancreatitis, She has told the family that her doctor told her this test is very dangerous and there is a 20% fatality rate. After researching this test, I can't believe this test is as dangerous as she says her doctor says it is. The entire family is scared to death for her very life! Does anyone agree with me that this doctor seems to have exagerated the dangers in having this test?
CT can confirm this, showing fat stranding around the pancreas, but the main role of CT is to evaluate complications of acute pancreatitis (e.g., necrosis, collections, etc.) and/or sequela of chronic pancreatitis (e.g., calcifications). If a patient experiences recurrent bouts of pancreatitis, MRI/MRCP may be of benefit to rule out underlying causes, such as gallstones and/or pancreas divisum (anatomic variant which can predispose to pancreatitis).
That can cause a blockage/backup of bile and pancreatic fluids, dilating the duct and even cause pancreatitis. And in some, there is a link between gallbladder issues and gastroparesis. Not in everyone, but?
At this point in time unless there are other complicating factors it might be a good time to consider removing your GB. Just remember to try to stay on a low fat diet after the removal. It can help your body to adjust to not having that organ any more.
Multiple complications-it was attached to appendix and somehow my pancreas was damaged in the surgery causing pancreatitis. Ended up in the hospital for 4.5 weeks. No diverticulitis since but I still have pain at the location of the incisions. It is not just sitting but if anything touches that area or I rest a box or bag there or even lean against a counter it is still hideous pain. For obvious reasons I do not want to return to my surgeon. Just trying to see if this is normal.
However, again, I would stress that there is no way to know what this would do to your respiratory system. You do not have to be allergic to morphine for it to cause complications or reactions. You should speak with your doctor or pharmacist.
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.
) They said gallbladder was partially blocked. (Huh?) They pushed and and pushed coaxed and wheedled, trying to get me to have my gallbladder out via laproscopy but I resisted. My instincts were screaming so loud they were deafening. I felt they were holding something back.
Next morning, I found out what was being held back from me. I told them I was close to agreeing to surgery until one P.A. told me they would have do the long, traditional cut because of the cyst.
Had discovered that I was having problems with my thyroid and I also had pancreatitis. I have gone on a medicine for my thyroid finally and the pancreatitis has gone. But there are still complications. I have been passing out when I stand up sit up to drive or even lay down to take a nap except for today thank the Lord. I've been experiencing blurred vision in my peripheral. I have a black floater in my right eye and I see very strange rainbow prism like colors in my eyesight.
Tests showed many of her organs were swollen and inflamed and her heart was not beating properly. This was only a about 10 days ago. She is still recovering, but to my alarm, I find her vision has also suddenly deteriorated. What could possibly have caused all of these things to go so wrong so fast? She has been a very healthy dog all of her life, until this. I can't imagine why everything has gone wrong at once. Please help.
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?
If I have had metal drill shavings removed from my eye is there a possibility of complications from this test. I had an eye exam last month and the eye Dr never said anything about metal nor did I realize I'd be having this test otherwise I'd of mentioned it . I guess I'm just overly concerned.
(That is, the pancreas is close to the gallbladder and can itself cause complications of pancreatitis, but there are many causes of pancreatitis).
