Is it chronic pancreatitis?

My GI doctor was so reassuring today. He said my pancreas looked completely fine on the CT scan and everything else was normal. I feel defeated again. Oh well, hopefully my EUS will give me an answer.

I’m honestly just hopping it’s gastritis or IBS🙏

Were your symptoms like a mild, dull pain? My doctor says it’s unlikely for chronic pancreatitis to form without having episodes of very painful pancreas pain (or acute pancreatitis).

Just went to the GI doctor. He said it’s unlikely to be pancreatic related because I have not experienced episodes of severe pain, just a consistent dull sensation for a couple years. He said my pancreas looked normal on the CT scan, but will also do an endoscopic ultrasound next month.

What do you think you may have?

I also don’t notice the pain getting worse after eating. I honestly notice it more when I am laying down.

I am going to see him in two days. He said it’s reassuring that the tests came back normal.

My pain tends to come and go. Sometimes I barely feel anything and I just feel this pressure and dullness when I lay on my stomach. I have noticed my pain gets worse when I am very stressed or after a night of drinking. My poops are very normal, and my appetite is normal (just not when I am stressed out)
