To Walt: Re: Gaining weight with panc

[Guest guest]

Eileen;

For the protien quota I have switched to protien powders and tofu.

Yes, tofu.... I have learned to make it into so many tasty dishes.

My pancreatitis is always triggered by high triglicerides. We thought

it as alcohol.... but after not drinking for months and another

hospitilization due to pancreatitis we figure it was triglycerides (

my diet). I figured out it was triglicerides after obtaining my

admission and ER visit test results.

Jokingly, I told my doctor that I expect part of his fee as a " kick-

back " , he just chuckled. Ok then, I'll help pay for his med school

student loans so he will continue to help others.

Eileen, you will get better! You just have to start being very

careful about your diet & exercise, learn what triggers you pancreas

to become uncooperative, and go from there. I am not totally familiar

with your specific situation, but you are in the right place to start

understanding what is happening to you.

P.P.S.

Mark A. is a great resource.
