Hi,
I decided to stop drinking 2 weeks ago after noticing pain on the upper left side of abdomen, along with back pain and light nausea that lasted around 3-4 days. Pain was never sharp just a 2-3 / 10. It lasted a few days and came back every other day however less and less noticeable. Today I can still feel it a little bit, at moments but it seems to fade away.
I have been drinking quite a bit all my adult life but last few years was around 2 bottles of wine / week on weekends, plus a few nights of more serious consumption every 2 months approx (evenings at pub with friends).
So my question here is : Do we frequently see alcohol-induced CP in people who never experienced symptoms of acute pancreatitis? (I never had acute attacks as folks describe in these pages, and never been hospitalized for alcohol-related issues - However I am worried now).
Thanks!

i never had an attack of any sort before being diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis. my only symptom was diarrhea. and i had it for 2 yrs. i even had a colonoscopy with a note that i had diarrhea for one year and the doctor said nothing.
one year later, i had side pain that persisted for about two weeks. they sent me home once after emergency room visit and one week later was in for 24 hrs and a fast.
