You deffinately need to go back to the doctor!
I only had mile pancreatitis and no gall stones. (they think it was one or some of the meds I take for other problems), but when I couldn't hold anything down, I got my kiester back to the ER.
I'm scared for you. Please post what your doc says.
hugs and well wishes!

I have a pancreas birth defect and functional dyspepsia. I lost 90 lbs while sick. I was told to eat low fat foods as well but it didn't help enough. In the beginning the docs thought I only had the pancreas problem but found i have functional dyspepsia. That may be something you want to ask your doctors about. I'm beginning to loose weight again so I went to a new doctor. The doctor told me to go on a macrobiotic diet. There is a book you can find on the internet and buy for about $20 that explains it all. He said if I followed it strictly within a month I would feel 100% better. Ive been doing it for a week and its already helping! Cant hurt to try.

talk to your doctor about pancreatic enzymes. They will help you digest your foods and make your pancreas work less while it heals. I know it sure helped me out for a while before y surgery. even after my surgery i have to take them and i am now gaining my weight back slowly and eating has become much easier.

Hello,
Like yourself I have lost a great deal of weight (120+ lbs) due to being unable to eat solid food for a long time. I am currently taking Pancrease. My progression was pretty basic. I would only have my tube feeds and occasionally some broth. Occasionally I would get pain just from taking a sip of water or taking pills. I toyed around with different types of foods to eat. I found that eating jello can be good if done at a very slow pace. It doesn't sound like much but it helped me to progress towards puddings and eventually eggs. But I do have set backs and some days I don't eat anything because of the pain. Let us know what might work for you or if any of the suggestions helped.
