Newbie question - belching?

[Guest guest]

Hi all. I posted a couple of days ago, but didn't get a reply, so I

thought I would try again. My family doc has diagnosed me with

chronic pancreatitis, following a bout of acute at age 10 ( I am now

in my 30s). When I have a " flare up " of pain, and difficulty

digesting, I always belch continuously after eating, even when I take

enzymes. Is this typical?

My family doc seems unconcerned, and has never referred me to a GI.

Should I be concerned? Is there anything they can do, anyway? When I

have a flare-up, it usually lasts at least a month (sometimes much

longer) and I always lose weight. I am relatively healthy in-between

flares.

Love the group - there is a very supportive feeling here!
