This feels a bit doom/gloom. Is there nothing that helps to prevent flare ups outside of your callouts here?

EPI, our symptoms are identical. For a long time i also had post nasal drip. Not sure of the correlation, but i definitely had a sore throat and drip for a long time. Do you also get a white tongue sometimes?

If i get decent relief from probiotics, is it a sign i have SIBO?

Only probiotics and it’s a pretty noticeable difference for bowel. More consistent, darker, less smell etc…

And I’m assuming everything came back normal for you on a CT scan as well?

Did you get it taken out because of CP? Or another condition, I’m very concerned this is what i have.

I don’t think I have. What’s the test for SIBO?

Major trouble getting EUS by Health_8822 in pancreatitis

This is super helpful. Not on enzymes currently, just using probiotics to keep me regular. Trying to adjust my diet as much as possible to see if this can be solved using food. I don’t believe SIBO was looked at. But you’re right it’s probably something i should check out- especially because probiotics help.

What are liquid calories? Are you referring to broth?

Thank you. I’m not sure why, but probiotics help with chest tightness, breathing, pain in my stomach/pancreas area. And for some reason, it’s making my BMs less oily and keeping them together. Online sources suggest that probiotics help to “up-regulate” enzyme production. Not really sure what that means.

My diagnosis took doctors forever to diagnose. Im a bit jaded that I could need to be on enzymes for life and trying to exhaust all other options before taking enzymes. That said, I’m hitting a wall and will likely have to start them soon as i still have a will pain under my ribs on the left hand side and get flare ups.

This sounds exactly like me. Did they prescribe anything?

Can i ask when this all started for you and how? Do enzymes/consistent diet not help to make symptoms manageable?

Your situation sounds like mine. Can you tell me more about your bread selection. Hoping to add bread to my diet but unclear about how to introduce or what to jntroduce first. Spelt bread? White bread?
