pancreatitis and gastritis

The pancreatic specialist did not mention pancreatitis at the time and only prescribed nexium and sulcrafate for the gastritis. I am 67, and never had a previous bout with pancreatitis. Moderate beer drinker. How should I be treated?

Possible cause of back and side body pain include spinal issues, neuro-muscular causes, renal infections/ inflammations, referred pain due to pancreatitis, gastritis, cardiovascular issues etc. It would be best to have this evaluated by a primary care physician and depending on the cause diagnosed/ suspected, it can be managed accordingly or specialist care may be sought. Hope this helps. Take care!

Get checked for H. pylori, the bacteria that's known to cause gastritis and GERD. Also may want to have your liver and pancreatic enzyme levels checked.

The most common causes of pancreatitis are gallstones and heavy alcohol use. Other less common causes include medications, metabolic disorders (hypertriglyceridemia and/or hypercalcemia), infection, trauma, surgery/procedures (ERCP), autoimmune disorders, and anatomic variants (pancreas divisum). Sometimes, a cause for pancreatitis is never found.

Diagnostic considerations include gastric ulcer, gastritis, enteritis, colitis, diverticulitis, pancreatitis, pyelonephritis, kidney stones, splenomegaly, and/or hernia. If your symptoms persist, see your doctor for laboratory and/or imaging tests.

I have pancreatitis with gastritis and ibuprofin works for me. And tylenol might work. Take the medicine when eating and it will help to not bother your stomach. never take it on an emtpy stomach. It will just sit there and irritate the stomach even more.

Pancreatitis In addition to causing stomach irritation (gastritis), drinking can inflame the pancreas. Chronic pancreatitis interferes with the digestive process, causing severe abdominal pain and persistent diarrhea --and "it's not fixable," Saitz says. Some cases of chronic pancreatitis are triggered by gallstones, but up to 60% stem from alcohol consumption." (webmd.com) I think you need to see your doctor about this.

My lipase has been mildly elevated, also my ca 19 (panc tumor marker) is double norm and double what it was 4 wks prior. Dr did say pancreatitis and other factors could cause this to rise. My dad died of PC so I am scared I have it. My ab US, CT w dye and EUS were all clear. My dr and the dr that did my EUS said that they do not think its pancreatitis as it does not present this way, nor last this long, they say doubtfully cancer too.

Dx with IBS in 1995. Recently I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy. Dx - diverticulosis and stomach showed chronic gastritis. Developed difficulty swallowing food (not the lump in throat you get with GERD) I had right side (under ribs) pain since july 2010. ER did an ultrasound. Huge gallstone in gallbladder. Had gallbladder removed. We are now it Nov 2010 - Right pain is still there. Dr suspects gastroparesis ... I take domeproridone 5mg to help with digestion but pain is still there.

I am not a physician, but I have a medical background and I am giving an opinion of what could be wrong. It is possible you could have gastritis and chronic pancreatitis given your history of alcohol drinking. Excessive alcohol is terrible on your GI system and over time is can do some irreversible damage. Secondly, at this point, one can only hope for the best.

Hello~Causes of left upper quadrant pain include dyspepsia (ulcers, gastritis, esophagitis), pancreatitis, or splenic diseases. You could have a touch of the flu starting too. If pains persists or gets worse, I would see your family physician.

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. As my husband has had pain for years and we found out that pancreatic cysts coupled with secondary diabetes (doctors established that he has had secondary diabetes for years without knowing) are symptoms of chronic pancreatitis, we thought he had, had chronic pancreatitis for years.

lack of appetite due to gastritis,pancreatitis,gallbladder attacks these are some of the reasons why I have lost weight when I was not trying. All pertaining to the digestive system and it could be many more reason. Including having a serious illness.

I'm confused by the lipase/amylase levels. I think I have chronic pancreatitis due to an episode of extreme acute pancreatits. I had a gallstone block my common bile duct, and my enzyme levels were both over 4,000 upon admission to the ER. That was a year ago. I continue to have upper abdominal pain that radiates to my left shoulder. My recent lab work has indicated "normal" levels of enzymes. My amylase was 61 and my lipas was 161. Are these truly "normal" ?

, acute MI, unstable angina, thoracic aortic dissection, tension pneumothorax, esophageal rupture, pulmonary embolism) are immediately life threatening. Some (e.g., angina pectoris, pericarditis, myocarditis, pneumothorax, pneumonia, pancreatitis, various thoracic malignancies) are potentially life threatening.

I'm a 29 year old male and I have been having more of a discomfort than pain in my left side below my ribcage. Occasionally it's a little painful, but it's a dull pain. I'm starting to get a little worried about pancreatitis after some online research. It's been going on and off for years. I used to abuse alcohol, but have been relatively clean for over a year, with a few relapses here and there. Could this be something like pancreatitis or something else?

t seem to be getting much better - My appetite comes and goes and this worries me to the extreme - My poo is still not right and the color etc is not right - this again worries me - I keep going back to the pancreas duct being dilated and then closed - I have read over and over about the pancreas and I can't get it out my head that there is something not right with it - hence my worry with the appetite and bathroom problems.

here we are over 7 months later and not only has the nause not resolved, but neither has the abd pain, and I have lost 20-25lbs. colonoscopy - mild divertic; endoscopy mild gastritis, bile reflux; gastric emptying test- within normal limits but possible mass on liver... recommend MRI; MRI liver cyst (bilobed); CT abd/pelvis free fluid pelvis ?

Pancreatic Cancer Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome My mother had severe gastroesophageal reflux disease, (GERD) and painful gastritis (although in her case bile gastritis) and both conditions eventually went away when she stopped the drug nexium and started taking betaine HCL (hydrochloric acid) with pepsin supplements and digestive enzymes supplements.

I get so sick sometimes that I can not even get off the couch and take care of my one-year old. I stay throwing up and have strong killer pains in my upper left quadrant. I have tried taking creon because it is hard to eat because it hurts so bad. I do not drink, any advice would be extremely helpful! Thank you!
