Was the scope just a regular EGD? If it was, there is no way that test can say whether or not you have pancreatitis. Have you had blood tests done lately that measure your pancreatic and liver enzyme levels? If not, you need to speak with your doc about doing that. Can you go back and work with the docs at Loma Linda that originally diagnosed you? Do the docs your currently working with have all of your previous records?
