Resolved Question: Getting Acute Pancreatitis- help...?

When I was 11 years old I was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. I had never had any alcohol in my life so that one is off the list. I had to have a nasogastric tube in me for 3 and a half days while on a IV and i wasn't allowed to be put back onto liquids for another two weeks. when i kept the water down they moved me onto food and eventually they let me out. in outpatients, i saw every specialist that i could and i had ever scan and test available including that for gallstones and billias slat, and its neither of them. I had numerous MRCP scans and ultrasounds, both showed nothing, my family and i also had a test done to see if this was hereditoy in my family or if i could give it to my children should i ever have any. the results said no. In the end they put me down to an UNKNOWN CAUSE. 4 years later (just a few weeks ago) I got acute pancreatitis again and then had a relapse after that, i had to go through the whole traumatic experience again with tubes, scans and an IV and i am now back at home recovering. in a few weeks i will have another MRCP scan. HOWEVER I NEED YOUR HELP i know that these scans will just come up with nothing again, but i am very anxious to find out what causes this, anything at all apart from the mentioned above. If there are any nurses or doctors out there who could shed some possible light on this matter i would be very grateful. Right now i have been put on 15mg of lansoprazole to have everymorning before food. and i am on a BLAND diet. if that helps. also anyone who has been or is in a similar situation then please feel free to email me =]Also thanks to anyone who replys with sensible replys. I know that im not going to get a straight 'this is whats wrong with you' i just think you guys might have some ideas of your own that are not in books and that you will explain it better to me than a bunch of doctors who use way too many long and technical words that just give you a headache and make you not want to ask another question x more

Resolved Question: Will Pancreatitis caused by gallstones go away if the stones are removed?

If I have pancreatitis caused by gallstones, and the gallstones are removed, will the pancreatitis go away to the point where I can drink alcohol again? I have a trip to France next year, and I was really looking forward to a bottle of wine. I understand that you should never drink with pancreatitis, but is the condition permanent if the cause is removed? This is something I'm going to ask my doctor, but I won't see him for a while and wanted to know sooner rather than later. more

Resolved Question: I suffered one bout of acute pancreatitis, 8 months ago, caused by alcohol. Will i be able to drink again?

Resolved Question: question on pancreatitis?

I had an attack of acute pancreatitis about 4 years ago. This was due to other causes and not alcohol abuse, I have never been much of a drinker. However, after this attack (Ihave never had one since), I have stuck to a healthy, low fat diet and I was advised not to drink any alcohol. Would it be ok for me to have a glass of wine now and again (i mean like just on special occasions, birthdays etc)? I must stress again, im not a heavy drinker and this was not the cause of my pancreatitis. (I only keep putting that because a lot of people who, when you say you have that condition, immediately think that you are an alcoholic! more

Resolved Question: I asked a question earlier about hot water bottle burns on my back?

the pain in my back eventually ended up resulting in a trip in an ambulance to hospital, I had been ignoring this pain for literally months (More fearful of hospital than the illness!), and ended up being diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis.I have therefore stuck rigidly to a low fat diet, no alcohol, and have lost 3 stone over a period of 8 months, but I have been really watching and reading all food labels for fat content, (a good diet for anybody reading this), but none of the doctors have actually told me if I can actually be totally cured or if I have this for life! and even if I can live without one because, I let myself get so ill I nearly died I am sure, so I was told anyway, (if it had burst at home, i think), So Dr Frank if you are there can you give me a really good summary about it and indeed anybody out there who knows, and also instead of feeling like a numpty on the pub (this ones for you Dr. Frank) is it Ok to have alcohol free beer, so that I kinda fit in a bit? more
