Hi Everyone,

Has anybody else experienced diarrhea several times daily, but no abdominal pain or cramps? I saw my doctor and she ran blood tests to check for possible gastrointestinal infections (salmonella, shigella, campolybacter), as well as to check my pancreatic enzymes (lipase and amylase). Results: no GI infections, lipase normal 19 U/L (normal is less than 60 U/L), but amylase a little below normal at 23 U/L (normal 30 - 100 U/L). I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar? Also, whether the symptoms sound like it could be chronic pancreatitis, or God forbid, pancreatic cancer?

Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Terry
