CCK- the next best hope

[Guest guest]

I have been doing a good deal of studying of CCK and its affects on the

pancreas. This link would be a great informational link to keep for the

digest:

http://arbl.cvmbs.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/endocrine/index.html. I

also read a study in 1993 based out of Japan of 113 hospitals for a year

tried a CCK derivitative and cut the symptoms in half for pancreatitis.

There has been so much research done on CCK within the last 10-15 years. If

I am reading the journals correctly if you are producing too much CCK it

could be from CP? This link is from a message board that explains a theory

of CCK and CP in layman's terms:

http://www.heartburn-help.com/MessageBoard27/_disc7/000003a0.htm. I have

two questions that I feel would be a great conversation/ research beginning

to assist in some proactive treatment so please answer even if you haven't

participated much with the boards before. 1. Has anyone heard of CCK or had

any medications given that were CCK related? (I don't think there is

anything FDA approved in the USA for treating CP, but I have only focused on

the one drug I could find so far that is a derivative of CCK, the one given

in Japan that so drastically reduced symptoms. They did have this drug in

clinical trials in the US for a short time. However you may be/have taken

it unknowing for other symptoms such as the Xanax the person mentioned on

the message board above.) 2. Also has anyone been to see an endocrinologist

ever? Thanks for your time in answering these 2 questions. Maybe we can

push up the clinical trials on it, or push FDA approval through government

if we can find out some more info into it, and provide some comfort for us

all.

I also found this link for hormone testing, i.e. for CCK levels.

Would it help anyone with knowing they received accurate tests for

pancreatic function? I'm sorry I can research so much, but have difficulty

transferring it from that.

I also wanted to mention that there is a test they do a lot for gallbladder

function which they give a form of CCK, but the CCK I am speaking of has to

do an actual medicine, I think they refer to it as a CCK antagonist, in

which they give for different symptoms.
