Hi, I'm so sorry to hear this. Did you have an attack of acute pancreatitis? Did your doctors send you home with any pain medicine? As far as eating you need to stay on a soft diet until it calms down. foods like cream of wheat, pudding, cottage cheese, broth, applesauce, jello, sherbert, drink alot of water, juice or milk. One thing that really helps me is protein drinks with high protein. I hope it gets better!

Sorry to hear what your going through Joan29405 yes the back pain is bloody awful with cp. I try and have a hot bath,sitting forward helps a bit too. Just take things slowly only eat if you feel hungry small portions. Ask the doctor for something stronger for the pain as they're clearly not helping. Keep talking on here as there might be something that someone else has tried and helped them. Take Care and hope things improve.
