Chronic Pancreatitis

Chronic Pancreatitis

My name is Natasha and i am 21 years old. In January i began to have pain in my stomach and was admitted the last week of January to the hospital with Pancreatitis due to elevated amylase and lipase levels. After a week of NPO orders and multiple tests i was discharged with no cause for the episode. I had my Gall Bladder taken out in Feb to see if this may have been the cause but only to discover my gall bladder was fine when they removed it. Three days after my gall bladder surgery i discovered i was pregnant. I made it to around 20 weeks into my second pregnancy when i had my second episode of pancreatitis. A week later i had a third episode where i then had to be given a feeding tube. Now my baby is 3 weeks old and i am in the hospital yet again with Pancreatitis. The doctors think it may be Sphinctor of Oddi dysfunction and are going to do an ercp in the morning maybe. Does or has anyone had any similar problems that i can relate with?
