Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 , one of the symptoms of chronic pancreatitis is that your enzyme levels don't always elevate. This is because the pancreas is so damaged that it can no longer produce enough enzymes to reach normal levels, let alone elevated levels. If you want some documentation to back this up, please go to the Hopkin's GI website. I'll include the URL to the exact spot that states that enzyme levels are not always elevated. http://hopkins-gi.nts.jhu.edu/pages/latin/templates/index.cfm?pg=disease3 & organ=\ 4 & disease=24 & lang_id=1 & pagetype=10 & pagenum=254 If the link doesn't work, copy and paste the whole string (including any text that may wrap to the next line) and paste it into your browser. The information you are looking for it in the first sentence on this page. I also recommend reading all the infrormation that this website has to offer on pancreatitis. It is very informative. If you move your cursor to the right over the " Select a Section " text, a pull down menu will show up. I suggest visiting all fo the sections available there. I also agree that you might want to see a doctor who specializes in the pancreas and has treated several people with chronic pancreatitis. Hope you are having a pain free day.
