Panc divisum

I was just diagnosed with pancreatic divisum. I was admitted to the hospital with my second bout of pancreatitis. My first bout was 11 years ago and I was in the hospital for 8 days. They thought it was a gallstone that had blocked the pancreatic duct and must have passed before I went to emergency. I didn't know what was wrong, I thought it was a weird, painful flu so I stayed in bed for 3 days until my stomach had ballooned. This time I recognized the symptoms and went to emerg right away. They put me on IV for 48 hrs until my levels went down...no food or water. When the doctor told me it was ok to go home he said low fat diet, no more than a glass of red wine per day...I thought that odd...he also said I have pancreatic divisum which was noted in an MRI. Still, over the next few days I took it easy, there was still discomfort, and I ate very little and chewed really well. My levels and pain went back up. So!!! My GP and a dietician are perplexed why the doctor wouldn't tell me to do clear fluids only for 2 to 3 days after leaving the hospital, having only been in 48 hours. My pancreas still needed rest. Two weeks later I am back on clear fluids for 3 days before adding broth with pureed squash or peas (can't wait! I am so hungry). Follow a smart diet people - and if you are fresh out of the hospital, clear fluids for 2 - 3 days unless you have already been doing it in the hospital! I don't want to have this again, and I don't want pancreatic cancer down the road. Vegan, or almost vegan diets seems the smart choice, and no booze at all! Not everyone is the same as far as what they can and can't tolerate. Listen to your body. I crave boiled eggs, and they don't cause me any problems - I eat at most 2 per week - avocado I am good with and use it instead of oil on salad dressings. Beans are great, after you've healed. And everything you eat in a day should be divided into six small portions...I think that is key so your don't overtax your system. I am also taking enzymes right now - even on my clear fluid diet...just in case. Also, super great is papaya juice and aloe vera juice mixed 1/3 cup of each and drink 3 times per day. This soothed me right away - I read about it online and several websites say it's amazing it is! I will keep this as part of my regular diet. So slowly work into solids, and don't have anything white - whole grains really are best. I am well on the road to healing now...I feel almost normal sometimes...a lot thinner though. Also, don't drink a lot of fluids all at once...slow is best. I think you can beat divisum. You have to let your pancreas heal before starting in on solids. I will let you know how I progress.
