Re: Lipase

[Guest guest]

Pat,

I too always had difficulty with diagnosis due to near normal lipase and

amylase counts. Sometimes they would be elevated while other times it would

show normal readings. I also have and have had elevated Liver counts with

all of my blood work. There are enough similarities to my case that I would

warn you not to give up. She may be doing fine now, but that doesn't mean

another attack isn't imminent. Tell her to avoid fatty foods and fried

foods. She should also find a good GI doctor in Boston, if possible. Good

luck in your search for the answers to your daughter's medical problems. It

took my doctors over 10 years to finally figure out what was happening to me.

what i noticed myself doing in the beginning was waiting until i felt horrible

then going to the ER where i would get a different dr. everytime and they didn't

know anything about pancreatitis except the lipase and amalayse #s. i wish i

would have gotten a good GI dr. early on to monitor me more closely Lynn :0)
