I could have written your post...I have had high Lipase for 5 yrs.+ had Ct scans & all related tests... Doc has no answers..my research said maybe high triglycerides over a period of time..do not smoke, drink, not overweight...due to eating Healthy Chocolate episodes have diminished due to I think lowered blood pressure/cholesterol through HC. Only when under emotional stress have pain & ill feeling like an acute episode but not as intense. Use essential oils topically over pancreas area...this helps too..have learned to live with the unknown...do not need to take meds!! or I believe this condition would be worse...I am 65 yrs. www.***@****
Did you find out answers? I am in somewhat of a similiar boat. Have had upper left pain on and off for a month. Found out my lipase is slightly elevated, had US and CT-both clear, however, lipase still slightly elevated
My dad died of PC this year, so it makes me very nervous that its PC.
Hi Olivia,
My lipase numbers have been coming back at about 400 with occasional, severe left upper quadrant abdominal pain. CT, hida and ultrasound all normal. I'm starting to feel very frustrated with all of these tests and no results and it seems like my MD doesn't know where to go from here. I haven't had really severe, long-term pain (24-28 hours) in about 2 months, but have regular, less intense pain - always in the same region. Feel like I'm spending my life praying for the intense pain to return so that we have something to work with to find out what's going on.
Are you still having problems or has it "gone away"?
Would love more ideas from others.
