Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Go to bed at least 2 hours after food. For pancreatitis you will need an ultrasound of abdomen and some blood tests.

Do you drink a lot of alcohol? That generally causes pancreatitis, the symptoms of which can show up slowly and then knock you down into the hospital for weeks in severe pain. What exactly did you doctor tell you, and what treatment did he recommend?
In all probability the symptoms are due to alcoholic pancreatitis and hepatitis. It can also be food poisoning. Take an OTC lactobacillus preparation and yoghurt with your meals. Drink plenty of fluids. Eat light, do not stay hungry but eat simple things like toast, porridge, cereals, crackers, banana, rice, peeled apple, etc. Take ORS. Take over the counter antacid and antiemetic (this SOS for vomiting). Consult a doctor immediately.
Take care!
m worried that this might be either cirrhosis/ gallbladder issue/pancreatitis. Besides my symptoms, I have no signs of Jaundice, swelling of my feet, skin itching, nausea, vomiting, not much loss of appetite or spider veins which do point out to cirrhosis. I feel that I have a very slight mental fog but generally able to think alright.
In the mean time, I'm taking steps to refrain from drinking alcohol by stopping consumption but not completely abstaining (drinking once a week).
Pancreatitis is the leading possibility, as it can present with an elevated amylase and markedly high triglycerides.
Further imaging should be done, specifically on the biliary ducts, to exclude a blockage. An MRCP can be considered.
If pancreatitis is suspected by the physician, you can discuss whether bowel rest is an option.
If the tests are negative, other causes of dyspepsia can be considered - this can include an upper endoscopy or upper GI series to exclude GERD or an ulcer.
Back in Nov 08, during a physical and ultrasound to check for what was first thought to be an ulcer, the Doc told me there was some inflammation of my pancreas and liver (alcoholic hepatitis), and to stop drinking immediately, since I consider myself a heavy drinker. If I stopped drinking I was told, everything would return to normal and be ok over time. I am only 31 years old, so I was suprised.
HOWEVER, MY FATHER(ALCOHOLIC) AND SIBLINGS (NON ALCOHOLIC)ALL PASSED PRIOR TO AGE 47 DUE TO CIRROSIS OF THE LIVER. AN EGD AND COLONOSCOPY REVEALED SLOWED MOTILITY AND BILE REFLUX,GASTRITIS 10/10 AFTER GALLBLADDER REMOVAL. LIVER ENZYMES WERE WNL OTHER THAN ELEVATED PTT. WHAT TYPE DOCTOR DO I NEED TO SEE.
If it can come suddenly after an alcoholic drink then you need to rule out pancreatitis as well. Sudden presentation can also be a sign of heart problem which can cause lower chest and upper back pain referred to your stomach area or jaw or left arm. Please consult your doctor immediately. Take care!

I am going to my regular GI Doc on Tues, excited to maybe get some answers. I also "googled" the results of my Transvaginal Ultrasound, ha! I seem to have a "Complex" cyst on my left ovary. Those are the kind that have to be evaluated right away and removed, they are not good!
Is he an alcoholic? That is not a good thing to be if you are diabetic. Or was it a one-time binge sort of thing?
I don't know the exact amount of safe for your brother but after he has been in the hospital I hope he doesn't do the same thing and end up there again.
I like to drink a little bit of alcohol, like a glass of wine or maybe two when I am out--but I find that any more and I don't feel like I am as aware as I should be about my diabetes.

Since calcification of pancreas is to be investigated further, it can be better done by a CT scan. Various causes of pancreatic calcification include chronic alcoholic pancreatitis, primary pancreatic tumor (ductal adenocarcinoma), Islet cell tumors, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, mucinous or macrocystic cystadenomas or cystadenocarcinomas, serous cystadenomas, and metastasis from other cancers. The list is daunting and naturally you will be tense reading this.
t know what impact having lost a kidney will have, but the risks of heavy alcohol consumption including increased risk of cancer, pancreatitis (which can be fatal), cirrhosis, heart attack, and stroke, to name some. No one can tell you IF any of those things will ever happen to you, or when they would if they do. Some people never experience these problems, and others do after only a few years of heavy drinking.
My left upper abdomen is always under pain for the past 3 years its like when i drink more water it stops paining or if i eat full it stops aching.. Am an alcoholic for 5 years as of now and a binge drinker for the past one year my urine is always yellow.. all the time.. if i drink water continuosly (like 10 glasses its white and if i stop it in the evening then at the night my urine again gets thickened and its orangish. I had a varicocele surgery in 2007. will that be an infection?
I was a heavy alcoholic for 3 years 200-300 units a week sober now 18months, I am male aged 25.
I have had ongoing steatorrhea (yellow floating loos stools often containing undigested food) have I have occasional pain around the right underside of my ribs slightly sharp .
Hi, understand your concern. With pancreatitis usually the lipase and amylase values are increased many folds. And if chronic the imaging studies will usually show pancreatic fibrosis. In the absence of these findings its unlikely that you have chronic pancreatitis. The other causes for the pain could be infections of the bowel and bladder, prolapsed intervertebral disc or inflammatory diseases of the colon. So, if your symptoms persist discuss these options with your doctor. Regards.
ve avoided all carbs and sugar on the advice of dr google, I started to suspect it could be Pancreatitis as a side effect of the hand foot mouth virus.
This diet seems to help, I barely feel the pain now, it comes and goes.
I have also been peeing a lot, but I've been drinking a lot of water. Not necessarily because I'm super thirsty, but when I'm not feeling well, I try to drink a lot of water.
Hello,
So just a bit of background, im 20yrs old, 6'4 and about 205 pounds in relatively athletic shape. I am in college and frequently consume excessive amounts of alcohol.
In the past month or so ive started to notice some pain in my sides the morning after drinking a lot. This isn't something I have ever experienced before so the first couple times it happened to me I just assumed I did something stupid last night and thats why my sides were sore or hurting.
