I hav a question for you! Two years ago I had my first attack of acute pancreatitus. I was up watching tv with my girlfriend and I felt this great preasure. I went into the bathroom and nothing happened. Upon the return to bed I was in so much pain that I could not bare it in the very least! I never felt a pain like that before. Even before that I\'d had bowel problems. Now I realize that all of those misdiogosis tha I had received were mistaken due to lack of investigation! Recently my simptoms have become more severe! I have been through a whole slew of testing in the last 2 weeks! It has becomee apparrent to me and my specialist that its pancreatitus.He tells me, no drinking,no chocolate or soda and low fat diet! I still cant seem to find that eating is benificial. I work out on a regular basis and I need to eat for it to pay off! I have tried high fiber and all kinds of things! Eating just brings pain! what gets me is that some days are alot better than others and I have no clue why. Do you think that My condition just isn\'t as severe as the others I have talked to on this sight? And ,.. is there support groups online for this?
