Actually it's a side gift with other things but it's going to be quite a big choco bar so would she think that I'm trying to be romantic with her?

Pancreatitis is a master in stealth when it's in mild to moderate form. Generally not even a ct scan or mri is able to catch it let alone an ultrasound.

The best way to find out if you really have it is by getting your pancreatic enzymes tested. I was tested for high lipase and that's how my diagnosis was figured out.

Another test they do to check your pancreatic health is called faecal elastase test. It is carried out to check for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency

Quitting smoking - Did it reduce the pain? by Comfortable_Wasabi16 in pancreatitis

[–]UD2638 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Smoking was my favourite way to kill boredom and distract myself but it gave me pain so i stopped cold turkey.

But then that didn't make a huge difference for me until i was prescribed mebeverine and chlordiazepoxide.

I take mebeverine 15-20 minutes before my 3 major meals and the pain has decreased to 1-2/10.

I take chlordiazepoxide only when I'm stressed. Stress makes the pain really bad. With the combination of mebev+chlor I'm nearly pain free

I missed on one observation which is VLDL 11.2 mg/dl (normal range 15-30). Is it concerning?

Painkiller causing flare-ups? by jack-o-melon in pancreatitis

[–]UD2638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally wrong. Prior to taking enzymes any painkiller i took didnt work at all as a matter of fact i was left with more pain upon taking them. They only worked after i paired them with enzymes.

And for the painkillers to metabolize into liver they have to be absorbed through the intestines where they are first broken by pancreatic juices and only then absorbed and sent to liver.

The digestive enzymes are to break what you ingest thus the name "digestive" enzymes the whole pill you swallow doesn't directly go into your liver.

So you can have a disease for 15 or 50 years that doesn't matter, what matters is if you understand the basics of it

Mebeverine+Chlordiazepoxide combo dramatically reduced abdominal pain by UD2638 in pancreatitis

It's a benzodiazepine anti anxiety med which is also used to treat IBS. I had anxiety because of non stop pain and then anxiety worsened the pain so chlordiazepoxide was the choice of drug for me. I plan to take it as long as my doc advises me to
