I was just diagnosed a few days ago with chronic pancreatitis. I go back two days before christnas to find out how bad my pancreas is damaged. I am having all symptoms of it being pretty damaged already
Hi, have blood tests been done now? if there is evidence of pancreatitis, then your symptoms could be due to this. And how long has it been since your surgery? There is about a 5% incidence of watery diarrhea immediately following removal of the gallbladder that is thought to result from bile salt irritation in an empty GI tract. It usually responds well to resins that bind these bile salts (cholestyramine) so they can't irritate the intestine. Most commonly the intestine adapts such that these agents can be weaned off over several weeks, but sometimes this persists. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. Regards.
