Hey what did they do in order to diagnose you and how did you get in to Mayo. I have been sick for 2 years with horrible upper/middle abdominal pain but no one can figure it out. Please let me know.
My brother having a problem with pancreas.He was diagnosed with acute pancreatitus 4 years back and since then he is having pain again and again, sometimes after months or after weeks.After pain, he becomes allright start living normally. But after sometime when he eats something heavy or dont follow proper diet or without any reason pain comes back and stays for 1-2 days.
Is this acute or Chronic?
Hi
I am 19 and I have Chronic Pancreatitis...I think you should try going to a pancreas expert! Mayo is great, also there is a expert his name is Dr. Sutherland he is suppose to be very good, never let the doctors tell you that it is not possible for your daughter to have this disease, because it is possible. Its very difficult to diagnose though, but hang in there and dont give up! Anyone who wants to talk about CP i here
Below are two excellent sites to answer your questions. But I would seek a second opinion due to her age. Take care.

Make sure she is evaluated for autoimmune pancreatitis.
