Chronic Pancreatitis and Type 1 Diabetes

I'm also a medical anomaly rwls and have also been diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis and I've never consumed alcohol either and know what you mean about response of doctors when you tell them that. 

My GI diagnosed me with Auto Immune Chronic Pancreatitis because of my other weird disease and no-one can tell me for certain if that one triggered my CP although I did find one obscure reference which said it was a very rare complication, nothing to back it up however. 

You may have hereditary pancreatitis if so at least you'll know, many don't ever know, they're deemed to have Idiopathic Pancreatitis (of unknown origin).  Bottom line, you have Chronic Pancreatitis so learn how to manage it.

Don't worry about the sequence of events, the important thing is that you are being treated symptomatically.  Humans have been arguing about which came first, the chicken or the egg, for centuries, will we better off if it's decided absolutely?  Probably not.

The important thing given your age is that you ensure you are diligent with your diet and applying medical advice so you have a long and as healthy a life as you can.

Hello i got pancreatitis when i was 21 , im not a diabetes person at present and hope to keep that off but my big number one advice is really high doses of vitamin c through tablets is proberly the best way to get high amounts and not very much sugar if any atall. I take up to 6000 mg which is six large pills and that genrally stops pain and suffering very quickly. My new discovery is papaya seeds they are very high enzyme counting and are helping my stomach feel settled after eating. Grapefruit extract or the juice is helpful although again im not sure about the diabetes with it. But vitamin C i count as my saving grace completly good luck please let me know how that goes if you try it xx

im 25 and i am recovering from chronic pancreatitis. fortunetly for me i have not had an episode since october 2015. But my case has been very different as all of ours is. Mine was induced by a not so lovely doctor while doing an ERCP. Any who, i spent most of last year in the hospital because of him. I got a pseudocyst which was drained and then a by pass because of an obstruction due to the feeding tube sitting in my deodenum. any who i am now on creon as well.my doctor put me on it because everything i ate gave me the runs and there would be like an oily layer in the water. Any who im on a 1 month trial now to see if it would fix this problem as he says my body is not creating enough of the enzymes to digest my food properly.

So im just wondering hows it going for you? have you had any symptoms because of the pills? I get nauseas ever since ive been on it and head aches!
