my 14 year daughter has chronic pancreatitis.She was dx'd 4 years ago. She is currently in the hospital after having enzyme levals in the 2000's. She now has an enlarged spleen, bile duct and high blood sugar.

Can any one give me guidence or share their own experiences. I do not know what to do and it seems that doctors do not know how to treat a child with this illness... Help!!!!

" I went through the same thing. 3 years of councing around with GI's and getting now where. All the while my problems got worse. What changed my life was a recomendation from a nurse. I requested to se a pancreas specialist in Beth Isreal hospital in Boston. It is one of the Top facsilities in the nation pancreatic problems. Not only that but the have some of the top doctors in the nation working there. I finally got the help i needed from them. Find a specialist. The generals GI doctors won't help you. At least not for me they didn't. "
