pancreatitis

1807187 tn?1316861276 You need to know what caused it. Alcohol and gallstones are the two most common causes. I recently got acute pancreatitis from one of my medications, but that is less than 2% of cases. Best of luck!
719251 tn?1230340905 My mother has been suffering from Pancreatitis for the past 4months. She has been in hospital three times with severe pain, vomitting, and fluid in the abdominal. In that time she has lots over 25kg. She is 60 years old but since loosing so much weight she looks like 80 years old. She no longer drinks but continues to smoke. What worries me the most is that she eats very tiny amount of food, she vomitts everyday and she is just not getting any better.
Avatar n tn Very good recovery given that you avoid any alcohol intake, that includes mouthwash and nyquil. Also a low fat high carb diet is the best for this disease.
Avatar n tn I have had what my gastroenterologist calls mild pancreatitis several times in the last few years. What can I do to prevent the pancreatitis from re-occurring? Is there a specific diet? My doctor just says, "bed rest, lots of fluids, a light diet." I'm not sure what "a light diet" means. Since I already eat light (6 VERY small meals a day - due to my many intestinal surgeries), I don't know what more I can do.
Avatar n tn However, my Amylase continues to be elevated and I am concerned, as is my doctor, about chronic pancreatitis leading to pancreatic cancer. I do not drink Alcohol and have not for 20 years. Can you offer any ideas for cause of the pancreatic enzyme elevation and treatments?
Avatar m tn If it is chronic pancreatitis, will it by definition worsen over the months or years or can it stay stable if I stay on a healthy diet, avoid alcohol, etc.??? Any advice appreciated. I do realize that I likely need to get back to the GP, but I'm most curious as to whether chronic pancreatitis ALWAYS worsens no matter what. I'm 46 and want to of course stay healthy in the second half of life.
Avatar f tn She thought she had the flu for over two weeks, she went to the ER and was admitted for acute pancreatitis. She stayed in the hospital for 2 weeks. Ellie is a vegan so her diet was optimal to start with. After a month or two things settled back into normal and then she had another episode in October/11. Scans and tests do not reveal any stones or blocked ducts but 1/3 of her pancreas is necrotic. She was a healthy 25 yr old that by her own admission did drink beer and or wine but not to excess.
Avatar f tn Carries diagnosis of IBS, GERD, Non-Allergic Rhinitis. Has history of pancreatitis. Is on special diet. Bloating unresolved for 6 months. Welcome any ideas. Thank you.
Avatar f tn They then told me I needed to be on a low fat diet and absolutely no alcohol. Since then I have been on a strict low-fat diet. I don’t eat anything over 3g and I have not touched alcohol since that Halloween weekend. On the 23rd of December I woke up and was having a low-fat fat breakfast of lean turkey sausage and egg whites when I felt a really sharp sudden pain. I thought it wasn’t the same since I’m the past it’s been more gradual and progresses from discomfort to pain.
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 f tn The most common cause of chronic pancreatitis is many years of heavy alcohol use. The chronic form of pancreatitis can be triggered by one acute attack that damages the pancreatic duct. The damaged duct causes the pancreas to become inflamed. Scar tissue develops and the pancreas is slowly destroyed." You can't live without your pancreas, so if it's destroyed, the end result will not be a happy one.
Avatar m tn Pancreatitis can be chronic meaning it does not go away or acute meaning it stays for a few days and leaves. You can be chronic and have flares of AP. Chronic patients must take enzymes to help digest their food. They often have oily stools that float. Did they tell you that you have CP? If so you should try to figure out the cause. Some get it from high tryglicerides, cystitc fibrosis, drinking genetics or just idiopathic ( no cause).
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with mild pancreatitis over 4 years ago it is on going. I currently still am experiencing slight pain on my right side. I have been seen by a GI doctor and a CT Scan, Ultra sound, MRCP have been performed. No issues have been found, I asked if it could be cancer and was told no tumors or cist we found wehn reviewing the xrays. We then tried to stop my BP meds thinking they could be the cause, but I could not stay off of them long enough to make a determination.
Avatar m tn I have had 2 acute pancreatitis episodes within 3 months. I have changed my diet and am not drinking alcohol after years of drinking. I did not have a drinking problem, I was a moderate to heavy drinker but did not consider it a problem. My question is after a period of inactivity, say 6 months to a year, is it okay to have a beer or two and go back to normal eating habits? Not eating or drinking like before, but a few beers or drinks on a night out or the weekend?
Avatar f tn I was on a very strict diet and medication for the next year. Since then I have taken very good care of myself and have seen doctors regularly. In follow up cat scans, radioligusts can't even tell anything was ever wrong. In 1996 I was told to stay away from caffine and alcohol completely. Was the doctor being over protective as I was living in the dorms as an 18 year old college freshman? I am now a 32 year old woman who has barely touched caffine and had zero alcohol.
Avatar m tn For the last few months I have had a constant gnawing achy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I have had labs for liver enzymes all normal, cholesterol all normal (trigs are 224 non fasting), all CMP labs within normal range. I had a complete abdominal ultrasound which was completely normal, (unable to view pancreas due to bowel gas). My doctor started me on kapidex which caused the symptoms to get worse. Dr says it's GERD, but it just constantly aches in the upper quadrants both of them.
Avatar n tn did they say what caused the pancreatitis?,,,alcohol?...ya,the pain could last SOME TIME...and if it was alcohol,,stop drinking!,,or youll soon get it again!
Avatar m tn Lros from my last blood test I had a lipase level more than three times as high (180 for a norm of 60), which corresponds in theory to acute pancreatitis. If only I have no pain.
Avatar n tn gov/ddiseases/pubs/pancreatitis/ From what I have read, a person who has suffered from alcohol-related pancreatitis should stop drinking alcohol altogether. Apparently, the first time it happens, it can be resolved fairly quickly, but it can get more and more serious with repeated episodes. It can be life-threatening. Can destroy the kidneys. None of the dangers are worth risking by drinking.
793908 tn?1294705109 I think it's best to avoid garlic. Garlic and onions are very similar, and onions are a definite no for dogs. Some people do give dogs garlic, and the dogs seem to be ok, but I always think it's best to avoid it. As I said, dogs' sense of taste and smell is something like a hundred times more powerful than ours, so they get the taste of their food very well, and don't need any added seasonings.
Avatar f tn Alcohol abuse is a common cause of pancreatitis and any doctor will tell you that alcohol has to go out of your life forever or you risk another acute attack. Alcohlic hepatitis is another condition high on the list of suspects. Binge drinking can be just as harmful as drinking every day and there's no way to tell who will develop life-threatening problems from it. It's a good idea to see your doctor and have these things checked out.
1674610 tn?1317002220 Welcome to the gastroenterology community! Pancreatitis is usually caused by gallstones or alcohol. Pancreatitis can't turn into pancreatic cancer but people who already have pancreatic cancer, can get pancreatitis which is why you and your mother had the same symptoms.
Avatar f tn The doctors ran test and i was told it was pancreatitis. I was checked for Gal stones, was clear. They said they found no cause, and it was put down to alcohol misuse. I am not a heavy drinker. Could the Solpadol have caused this? I read in the leaflet one of the severe side affects is pancreatitis.
Avatar f tn My 24 year old boyfriend has been hospitalized for acute pancreatitis 3 times: 03/07, 02/08, 05/08. He previously drank a lot, though he quit completely before the 3rd attack occured. CT revealed 2 pseudocysts. He has been referred to a specialist for an EUS, however he has no insurance and just applied for medicaid, which takes lots of time. The pain is reccurrent and he is barely able to eat or do much of anything.
Avatar m tn ve had extreme pain in my stomach on eating in the past and was diagnosed with gastritis, advised to follow a clear liquid diet I think it was for 72 hours. With drastic weight loss, along with your other symptoms, you really need to get into a doctor who can refer you to a GI specialist ASAP. Sometimes even cancer can cause weight loss. There are so many things that can go wrong and I plead with you to take care of yourself and go in and get diagnostic testing!
