hi i posted yesterday but im starting to worry. i was okay yesterday but after ive been looking on the internet im now so worried it could be something worse than chronic pancreatitis. i suffer from health anxiety so after i found out i could have EPI its scaered the hell out of me. it baffles me as i dont have the typical symptoms of pancreatitis. 2yrs ago i did a test for EPI but it was overlooked and now ive done it again and its showing moderate-secere EPI. i don't have any pain associated with it but i do sometimes get a dull ache which lasts a couple of hrs which is mild. my symptoms are bloating, gurgling and gas, diarrhea once a day sometimes not at all and a dull ache. i also have ibs. i read that pancreatitis cancer dont usually cause pain in the early stages and 2yrs ago my epi was 170 and now its 110. ive also had severe inflammation in my colon 2 years ago which resulted in bloody diarrhea. i just need some reassurance. i have my hospital app in 3mnths and is ot ok to drink alcohol. if its only 2 glasses of wine. i need to take my mind off it as im constantly googling it.

      I can't agree more regarding going to hospital ,I too wish i had gone many moons ago with horrendous sickness dioreaha, etc, but no I played the brave soilder, therefore living with ok no diagnosis or CT scans! put down to gastro problems and IBS !
