I myself do not have chronic pancreatitis but my 10 year old daughter does. You may want to look at your blood work and see in your digestive enzymes are low. If they are your doctor may want to put you on Creon. You will have to take a pill before you eat anything. Also, if you're not already type 1 diabetic its a good idea to keep a close eye on your blood glucose.

Hi my blood enzyme levels are high. I am already on enzyme supplements with meals...How is your daughter now...

I don't have any problem with sugar levels in blood. Digestion is the main issue.. I a thinking of trying some alternate medicine like Ayurveda....

My daughter is 10 and was diagnosed a few years ago with chronic pancreatitis. She is insulin dependant and has no lipase enzymes. She has calcium build up around her pancreatic duct that is causing constant pain. Currently looking into a transplant.

Hi Manish!

I am so very sorry about your pain.

Please consider trying out a regimen I have discovered through years of studying medical journals. The following regimen changed my life by getting rid of dreadful pain in my abdomen and back from chronic pancreatitis:

1) Take Lyrica at its highest allowed dose morning and night to battle the nerve pain. Pancreatic pain is expressed through the nervous system.
2) Oxidation is the driver for the pain from the disease. Take the following antioxidants to combat the oxidation process:
L-Glutathionine with CoQ10 (Swanson), Alpha Lipoic Acid, Grapeseed Extract, Selenium, and Ginger. I take maximum RDA of each twice per day.
3) Take a pancrelipase (pancreatic enzymes) called Viokace. Viokace is the only pancrelipase brand that is NOT enteric coated. I experienced far better results when I switched from Creon (enteric coated) to Viokace (NOT enteric coated). Viokace releases the enzymes earlier in the digestive process, thus performing better with digesting your food. This is superior for resting the pancreas and avoiding malnutrition. This also means you can maintain a healthy weight. I gained 40 much needed pounds when I switched from Creon to Viokace. You will need to take a proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole). You take the omeprazole to keep your stomach acid from destroying the pancreatic enzymes from the Viokace. These enzymes are vulnerable to stomach acid, because the medication is not enteric coated.
4) I drink 7 blended drinks every day (every 2 hours). The blended drinks are made in the following manner: You need an expensive blender. You need many "Ensure High Protein" bottles. You need a whole grain cereal of your choice that is very low in sugar and fat. Ensure High Protein is very low in sugar and fat. The calories come from protein. The cereal is for the purpose of adding whole grains and calories to your diet. Put 8-14 ice cubes in the blender depending on the size of the ice cubes. Next, put 1 cup of low fat and low sugar whole grain cereal on top of the ice in the blender. Next, put 1/2 cup of water in the blender. Finally, put 1 container of "Ensure High Protein" spread evenly in the blender. Blend the contents for 65 seconds on the highest level. Again, it must be an expensive blender. I use a Vitamix blender. Pour the finished contents into a very large cup. Enjoy! It is easy to take these drinks with you in 24 ounce thermoses. Each drink exactly fits in a 24 ounce container.
4) The only additional supplement you need is potassium, because the drinks do not contain any potassium. Take the RDA for potassium each day.
5) Avoid any activities that jolt your body. For example, I have discovered that I can not ride in a boat that is bouncing on the waves. Your pancreas does not like to be jolted.

I will be praying for you, Manish. Please let me know if you have any questions about the above regimen for getting rid of the pain associated with chronic pancreatitis.

Blessings!

Dear Dr.Perry,

Thank you so much for your detailed advise which is really helpful.

I have few more questions on food. What food should I avoid completely from my diet. I understand that fatty foods are not good for me but is anything which is very harmful to Pancreas. Is it ok to take any fruits and fruit juices..

I am now on a Pancreatic enzyme called Enzar HS with each meal. Is it ok if I add little fat to my diet such egg and Milk.

I have lost some weight and would like to regain it.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Regards,

Manish
