Hello all. I am seeking support and wondering if pancreatitis is

really what I have.

I had acute pancreatitis at age 10 after having the mumps and was

VERY sick. I had undiagnosed abdominal pain through much of my

childhood.

My family doctor finally diagnosed me a few years ago with recurring

pancreatitis, when I got very sick after drinking a small amount of

alcohol. I have had several flare ups since then, some for no

apparent reason, one after having about 1/4 of a glass of wine.

When I get a flare up, I have terrible pain in my mid-left upper

abdomen. It is worse after I eat, and sometimes goes through into my

back. When I eat, I belch continuously and sometimes have nausea. The

only thing that helps is to stop eating for several days then to

start back on low fat and low protein foods. Pancreatic enzymes also

seem to help - not with the pain, but with digestions.

I don't have any vomiting (as I did when I waas 10) and rarely have

diarrhea. I have had my enzyme levels taken a couple of times and

they were within normal range. I also had an abodominal ultrasound,

which didn't show any inflamation. Does this sound typical? I feel

very frustrated and a little unsupported by my doc.
