I am 21 yrs old recently suffering from acute pancreatitis… whatever you do DO NOT EAT FOOD! Your body cannot digest it you need to be on a clear liquid diet anywhere from 1-2 weeks, yes you will feel hungry but it is normal your pancreas needs a break and needs to be cleansed. I just want to share this because I genuinely was terrified for my life so please I’m no doctor but this has helped me. It’s been a week like this already and I’m making some recovery.

She had to be put on be ventilator and dialisis. Had developed multi organ failure due to septic shock because of the necrotic tissue.

I have chronic pancreatitis for about 10 years. Here are some tips from me to you who maybe facing the same problem.
1) Stop eating until it gets better it's like a red alert. Especially if you are having serious insane pain like me. When the pain start to lessen day by day (it may take 4-5 days) you may start taking water then healthy drinks then soft food like fruits.
2) If the pain is too much for you, take a pain killer with doctors approval then lay on your bed like dead fish better if you can go to sleep. When the pain starts to show up again take the pain killer again keep that up it takes 4 days for me to recover.
3) No sugar: It takes a lot of insulin to control all the sugar you ate. Pancreas produces insulin so a lot of pancreatitis patient have diabetes. So if you consume sugar it's going to take a toll on your poor pancreas.
4) Try to eat a certain food or herbal formula that clean you gut and maintain a good lower abdomen health.{You could try apple cider vinegar organic(1 tea spoon amount mix it water and eat once per day)}
Sometimes there's too much bad bacteria and germs in your gut that it causes problem for digestion. It will help with acidity and gastric. Which is a yellow alert for pancreatitis patient. So never eat food that is fried or has a lot of oil.
5) Never forget to take your medicine (the ingredient of the medicine called "Pancreatin") in the middle of your meal or after the meal. This help to digest your food. otherwise you won't be able to digest the food you ate and loose weight.
I'll write some more have to go for now. Somebody remind me if i don't

[itsqueenbeautiess]

I’m having severe discomfort In my upper abdomen, and lower back severe dull ache that radiates up and down my back 😭 I’m scared now that something serious could be going on with my pancreas but then again not to long ago I got and abdominal ultrasound that showed my liver was enlarged 18 cm I’m not a drinker at all and my doctor didn’t tell me if it was a fatty liver or not smh now my mind is all over the place and also the tech just said on my report of ultrasound that she only saw the head of my pancreas but not the body or tail I have an up coming appointment with my pcp so hopefully she does something to help me figure out what’s wrong with me 😩

[richiep]

Greasy fatty stool. Get tested for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Test required is a faecal elastase test. The pancreas doesn't make enough digestive enzymes and it is a lifelong condition. Very rare it comes back to making enough enzymes.

It sucks but manageable with varying results fr person to person.
