Guest guest Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 Thank you so much for your information. I believe the size of my small duct causes the pancreas to retain digestive enzymes and so the pancreas starts to digest it's self. As I understand it there are many duct from the pancreas, at least that is what my doctor told me. The doctor that noticed the small duct, was not the doctor I go to, but one I was sent to, so he could do a scope, as the doctor I went to was a surgeon. I think I might have to go to a doctor that is more a specialist with the pancreas if I keep having problems. I have had three attacks, I believe. The first one my blood pressure and pulse when crazy and I was in intensive care for a while. They tried to find gall stones but could not. The second one the found a lot of very tiny gall stones so I had the gall bladder removed, this third one I do not know why it happened accept it might have been the blood pressure medicine. I have never drank alcohol. I have had 7 C. sections and I wondered if that had any affect. I was on intravenously feeding from the 9 of June until about the 20 of August. Also do you know if enzymes taken every day can cause the pancreas to become lazy? I really appreciate all your help and information. I know I need to do better with the diet but like one other person said it is really hard. It makes life less fun and so far I do not see it affecting how I feel but I am afraid it is just that I do not see it yet, so each day I try a little harder to be more careful.
