<It sounds very much to me (but I'm not a doctor) like you DO in fact have

(snip) doesn't the pancreas divism inherently bring along with it a positive dx

of pancreatitis? Particularly with the seemingly tell-tale symptoms? I just

don't get how the doc could say anything otherwise.

(snip)your pancreatic enzymes are elevated and that still isn't enough to

convince the doc? I would run (not walk)from this doc.

(snip) I would sure respect them more (as my PCP did) if they would just admit

it's over their head and recommend/send you to someone else.

I couldn't agree more! This doctor isn't doing you justice. Many of our

members here have pancreas divism, which HAS been the cause of their

diagnosis' of chronic pancreatitis.

, I admire you for your proactive attitude about your health care and

getting a diagnosis. Dr. Lehman should get you all straightened out and I

wish you much luck with your appointment later this month.

With love, hope and prayers,
