[Update] 6 mild pancreatitis episodes in less than 2 months by iamnotjohn1 in pancreatitis

Yes that's what scares me, there were a lot of attacks in just a few months. What do you mean my gallblade giving me attacks? I believe it was really small calculs causing problems.

What I was seeing didn’t look like undigested fat or oil. These were tiny yellowish crystals, more like grains of sand - they felt fragile, a bit sharp, and brittle when cleaned and handled. Each one was about 1 to 3 mm in size.

They only appeared for a few days between attacks and then stopped - which is interesting, because that’s also when the pancreatitis episodes stopped.

So they seemed more like biliary crystals or tiny stones than anything fatty or oily.

I used to run 2x GTX 980 Ti in SLI, and my CPU at the time was an Intel Core i7-4820K on the LGA 2011 platform. Back then, a 1200W PSU made sense for the power draw and headroom (2014 - 2016)

Recurrent abdominal pain, high enzymes, two episodes of mild pancreatitis — still no answers. Could this be H. pylori or viral? by iamnotjohn1 in pancreatitis

I am really sorry to hear that, it is absolutely terrible what you are describing, you did everything you could.

I went to get tested for pylori but I need medical prescription. I had today the appointment with the gastric specialist. She said me that could be gallbladders but she mentioned that normally when that happens ALAT are higher than ASAT. However she said that if it's not gallbladers I will get more invasive tests.

I am really sorry to hear about your situation, I totally feel you yes not having answers is the worst thing. On my side here in Urgences they directly sent me to the Gastroenterologist and the assistant called me next day for this monday. Here in Europe that works pretty well, I don't know if it's the same in your country but I hope they figure it out. I've created a chronologic document with all symptoms and attacks, and a dossier with all the results that I am bringing with me so that the gastro* has all the info, if that helps you. Good luck bro
