Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis and sugar

pancreatitis

Avatar f tn Hey, my names Natalie and I have just turned 18. About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. Being 18 I'm starting to think about my future, my future consists of having a family. I'm not currently trying to conceive but I am curious as to pregnancy with pancreatitis, problems and outcomes. I don't want anything sugar coated.
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 f tn I never really worried about what I ate before that so now not only watching my fat but also my sugar and carbs is very difficult. Since I've been on the low fat diet my weight has gone from 186 to 146. My family has very low income and there are periods of time where I have to go without the Tricor because we can not afford the $150 dollars a month. I started using NuvaRing in July of 2008.
Avatar n tn I have been diagnosed now with Pancreatitis and it is painful, Lortab and ofcourse the morphine helped the pain. I am new to this site and hit the wrong area accidentally, i am in the Gastro forum now..
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 f tn Sorry you are in the same boat cause this boat is slowly sinking! LOL =) I called and requested copies of my tests so I could "google" what is there since his consultation was so vague. My blood sugar is high but he said no big deal. I am not a diabetic and have never had problems with my sugar.
Avatar f tn Since my surgery, I have hospitalized 3 times with pancreatitis. I now have a GJ (feeding tube) and I am NPO except for ice chips and sugar free gum. My doctor thinks I would benefit from having the rest of my pancreas removed. Has anyone had issues like this? I am on Creon and pain medications daily.
Avatar f tn The smell also changes based on what I eat. I was diagnosed with inflammation, which is what pancreatitis is. Sugar most definitely makes it worse.
Avatar m tn She had one day of lethargy, not eating, and staggering when she walked. We took her to the vet the next day and she died. Her urine was filled with blood. I had fed her some fatty foods two days before. Could I have contributed to her death through pancreatitis? What did I do wrong?
Avatar m tn About a month ago I had hand, foot and mouth virus. It was bad, it lasted for 2 weeks. Our 2 year old daughter got it, then I guess she gave it to me. We are traveling at the moment, we're staying in Australia with my wife's family. I went to the hospital and got this diagnosis to which there isn't really any treatment besides pain management. Since getting over that, I just noticed a small, sharp pain in my abdomen. It seems to be local to the lower left side.
Avatar n tn I took everything out of my diet - gluten free, lactose free, sugar free, etc. and slowly introduced those items back in to see if I was allergic and no results from that either. My abdominal cramps come and go. Sometimes I have them for two or three days and then nothing for months. The only thing consistent is my high levels of lipase. Interesting to note, I have very low levels of LDL and always have had lower levels.
Avatar f tn That can only be done in the hospital. I had pancreatitis and was hospitalized for 8 days before the enzymes were low enough for me to leave. They did stay just above normal for two more weeks. Perhaps your enzyme level isn't high enough to require treatment yet. I would keep up on this and see your doctor again soon if the pain continues.
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.
543435 tn?1282242679 Has any doctor ever suggested he may have chronic pancreatitis? You can have chronic pancreatitis and have flares of acute pancreatitis. This can be hereditary or from drinking or many other reasons. If you have this disease then you are unable to digest a lot of food. Sticking to a low fat diet and taking specially prescribed enzymes to help digest food seems to help some people with this. Usually a diagnosis is made from an endoscopic ultrasound procedure or from CT scan.
Avatar m tn Yesterday my mom who is a diabetic tipe 2 was getting her sugar levels tested and just to play I checked mine and it came to 156. all I ate for lunch was a little bit of mashed potatoes and that was approximately 2 1/2 hours before I checked my sugar levels. Today I decided to check my sugar levels an hour after lunch and it was 130 an hour latter it was 148. Can all this be related to my chronic upper abdominal pain? Any sugestions will be greatly appreciated. thanks.
Avatar n tn It is in the front and back of my body and to the point I cannot lay on my right side (which I usually sleep on) and is making me miserable. IF I go to the restroom it intensifies for a period and then just eases back into PRESSURE that makes me have nausea. I have had my gallbladder removed so I know that it isn't it, BUT if I had not I would REALLY think it's still there.
Avatar f tn Over the last 17 years I have been - (and all are confirmed except the pancreatitis) with all of the chronic and incurable diseases listed in the title. I also have an extremely bad (painful) back and was even confined to a wheel chair for a few weeks until I received successful epidural blocks. Now, I am being treated for Pancreatitis which I first heard of 3 weeks ago when I finally went to the GI doc (again). BTW - I am a GI docs dream constant cash flow.
Avatar n tn Hello. I'm a 52 year old male and I recently had bloodwork done and the following was detected to be out of range: blood sugar - 104 amylase - 128 lipase - 83 What are possible causes of this and is this something I need to be concerned about? Thanks.
Avatar f tn I dont drink and my liver, thyroid,electrolytes,blood sugar, kidney and blood cell counts were all normal. Anyone have any idea what this could be?
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 With geriatric cases you have to consider all past history (diabetes and pancreatitis) and look at current status. A complete physical exam plus some current status blood work would be a great idea right now. Diabetes control varies with age and pancreatitis recurs. Get to the vet for a physical assessment. Good luck, caring for a senior is hard - but special.
Avatar m tn In the trauma centre, he kept throwing up due to the extreme pain. The doctors ran many tests and found out that his blood sugar level was very high. They also found out that he had very severe acute pancreatitis. Additionally as they scanned him, they found he had a cyst on his pancreas. He was in hospital for a couple of weeks and got better gradually. Doctors established that he had acute pancreatitis and secondary diabetes. The cyst was drained.
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 nearly killed her unknowingly of course. She was drinking and peeing a lot and I thought that she was just thirsty and that the water had to be gotten rid of somehow so I thought nothing of it until the next day when she wouldn't eat and the vomiting started, along with the diarrhea. Also she had trouble standing up. I took her to the vet and the vet did some blood work and told me that she probably just had a virus and that she also needed to lose weight.
