Guest guest Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Have any of you been diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis ? This has been suggested as an explanation for several things going on with my son but since we are " between doctors " currently no further testing has been done. He has confirmed pancreatic insufficiency (stool pancreatic elastase testing) has had problems with his glucose levels, stool testing showed fat malabsorption and he has had quite a few acute pancreatitis episodes that can lead to chronic pancreatits. I posted how he was doing on a site for liver kids and thanks to prompting me to think about this again I remembered that his last hepatologist asked that his tysinogen levels be tested- but that hasn't happened yet. If you do have this how has it been treated ? With digestive enzymes only ? Or is there more to the treatments ??
