SOD attack and hunger pain

[Guest guest]

I've been reading the post the past couple of days about what a SOD

attack feels like. I too have SOD and chronic pancreatitis. I told

my doctor at Mayo that I could not tell the difference between the

attacks since both are so painful. I am nauseated most times with

either but more so with the pancreatic attacks.

Anyway, my question is.....does anyone else have the SOD attacks

more frequently on an empty stomach?? Mine has almost always been

that way and I have to eat small meals through the day to prevent

the SOD from flaring and it almost always wakes me up around 3:00 -

4:00 am. I have actually gained weight because of my erractic

eating habits. What a frustration!!!!

Thanks

Zoie,

Recently we found that many of us experienced this. I have to

basically keep myself from having an empty stomach. I too put on

weight because of this.

Zoie-

Yep...I have CP and SOD...and the only thing that I can draw as a

similarity with my attacks is hunger. I mentioned this to my gastro

doc who specializes in CP and he just said " Interesting... " I'm not

sure what that meant, but at least I didn't get that " incredulous "

look I get at times! I was slowly gaining weight because of this

until recently, then I lost over 40 pounds in less than 3 months. I

still eat the same, the only difference is the pain level stepped up.

If you get an explaination, please share it, cuz I am really

curious.
