okay, this was two years ago, but your symptoms may well be gluten intolerance. It took me 3 years to find out what was causing intense pain on the left side of the upper abdomen. Now I know, gluten is sweeter than sugar and your triglycerides go through the roof when you eat anything with gluten. Cut out bread, pastries and pasta and see if it helps. I had the racing heart and everything, shortness of breath, etc. Read the book "Wheat Belly" and it explains everything. it changed my life.
could be a hiatal hernia !
I just had my 3d acute pancreatitis attack in a year. The last one was while I was in Panama City and the doctors pointed to the meds I take --a hormone pill and prednisone (for RA). It turns out that many of the meds I take are somewhat implicated in acute pancreatitis. I did enjoy drinking wine and that probably contributed to the problem but medications must be considered. In all three cases I had just had high demand/stress times (holidays) and in two of the three cases I had taken a lot of an expectorant/cough suppressant for a sinus infection. Having follow up tests next week.
Hello Chris! I would appreciate it if you could contact me because I have exactly the same issues that you are stating here, and I'd rather not speak about them very opening. My name is Renee. I hope to hear from you soon! Thank you and hang in there!

read labels and watch the fat consumption especially lamb as it seems to trigger pain. Salads help a lot and are light on the system. I had acute pancreatitis 5 years ago and despite gallstone surgery suffer if I dine out and have more than a couple of drinks.
