Re: - pancreatic enzymes?

[Guest guest]

,

I've been offline for two days and haven't read through all the

messages yet, so forgive me if this has already been discussed.

You may have even told us earlier, and I've forgotten already, but

here's my question anyway.

Are you on any kind of pancreatic enzyme supplements? If you

aren't, you need to be, and if you are, it sounds like you need

another kind!

You've been having such horrible food issues that I really think

enzymes would (should) make a difference. Granted, we all

have food issues when we're in the midst of an episode, but this

has been a constant problem for you now all these past weeks,

and should have settled down.

So what's the scoop on enzymes? I'm sure once I get to read all

the posts from the last three days I'll know more about your

MRCP and all the news, but I just wanted to ask this question

while I was thinking about it. I tend to get sidetracked when

there's a lot of posts to go through.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi

sooooo sick. Guess I can't tolerate protein AT ALL anymore....

Thanks so much Heidi....no they never did put me on enzymes. But

that's because they are under the impression that my GB has caused

all of this (see my other posts). I sure hope so, but what I want to

know is if the ducts didn't show any obstruction (as GI doc said)

then why did the panc get so inflamed in the first place? I'm sure

I'll get some cock-a-mamie lines about that.....sigh.....What I find

horribly unsat is the fact that they're just going to let me suffer

thru the weekend and most of Monday with pain meds and Phenergan for

the nausea until I see the surgeon. And THEN what? Not schedule the

surgery for a week after that or something?? Geeeeezz.......

Thanks

- who I guess will be living on a liquid diet and pain meds all

weekend and thru at least Monday (((
