[dlsleep]

I have upper right abdominal pain. constipation.and high lipase levels still rising after one week. Also helicobactor pylori infection ditected from biopsie. pain has been onging for over two months this time. many previous attacks.ct indicated crohns. ultrasound showed nothing. up every night to urinate or with pain or both. lots of bad tooth ache and teeth chipping  in the weeks before paid attacks of vomiting and pain. admitted to hospital with servere pain and vomiting, suspect gallblader. at this time bloods for pancreas ok. two months later high lipase re-admited now on iv but pain still in right side ?? Dr not sure to treat helicobactor or pancreaitits first.
(first time on site hope question is not to confusing sorry)

Thankyou so much for your reply,
This has been helpful, that is the path we are trying to be on, Seen GP last night, one week after discharge and he said "he will fax referal and we can expect to hear from  specialist to make appointment.
This is good i just feel 2 weeks for GP to write referal is a bit slow? Maybe we need new  GP ? Not sure if this is resonable time to wait. 3 months now since first admission to hospital.'
Thanks again for listening it really helps

Hi there!

Pancreatitis and H. Pylori can be treated simultaneously, though if one has to choose ‘acute’ pancreatitis would be treated first. CT is a better test than ultrasound, though additional tests such as endoscopy/ biopsy may be required for a conclusive diagnosis. I would suggest consulting a gastroenterologist for a detailed evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
