Acute Pancreatitis

[Guest guest]

Recently diagnosed with Acute Pancreatitis. Inflammation has only

decreased 1 cmm in five weeks. Unsure what has caused it, so my

major concern is, is a glass of wine contraindicated in this

situation. I am going on vacation, and would enjoy a drink with

dinner, but it is not absolutely necessary if it is going to

aggravate this diagnosis. Would love an answer or resource re

alcohol and pancreatitis!

Hi rrh,

My name is welcome to the group sorry that you have to be

here, this isn't a fun disease at all, but you have come to the right

place I am fairly new here too but this group has alot of wonderful

people that care and try to help in any way they can. As far as you

having a glass of wine, all the doctors have told me no and my

brother has this too and when he first had it he didn't think it

would hurt him but it only took one time for him to realize he was

wrong he ended up right back in the hospital, so I never even about

it at all, when I was in the hospital for my 3 week stay there was a

guy that came in with pancreatitis and was having an attack and it

was brought on from drinking he got out and less the 4 days he was

back in cause he drank again, I to this day don't understand that at

all since I wouldn't want to do something to bring on this terrible

pain. So enjoy your vacation and don't drink or it will be cut

short.. good luck
