Chronic pancreatitis can present as episodes of acute inflammation in a previously injured pancreas, or as chronic damage with persistent pain or malabsorption. Patients with chronic pancreatitis can present with persistent abdominal pain or steatorrhea, as well as severe nausea. Some patients with chronic pancreatitis often look very sick, while others don't appear to be...
This is a follow up on all my vomiting as of late. This is also a response to any questions asked about how my scan went and all that.
The cat scan was normal.
But I am still throwing up. 6 weeks now. 17 lbs lost. I throw up about every other day.
I feel so full. It is like i over eat and throw up from over eating.
Yesterday at 8 am I ate a piece of toast.
At 6:30 I was still not hungry, but made myself eat so I can function.
I ate 4 tablespoons of potato soup and 1/2 piece of bread.
I got sick 20 minutes later, nauseated. I took a phenegran but still threw up 1 1/2 hr later. A few hours after that started dry heaving. It was so painful.
I woke up sick and started vomiting again. I cough and try to vomit but there is nothing to come out I guess. I drank water, and threw it up.
I then ate some chicken broth so i could have something to puke up.
It is still down. But I am feeling sick and can tall i will be vomiting it up soon.
I barely eat anything. I eat a few bites and am full.
I am having a gastric emptying test next week to see if my stomach is emptying slow and if there is an obstruction.
Has anyone dealt with that issue with pancreatitis?
I am wondering if the two are related.
The only thing I can find where the pancreas is involved with stomach emptying delay is pancreatic cancer... and nah, I don't want that.
Was just curious if anyone else has gone through any of this.
Before this started, I never through up during an attack. And I am not having an attack when this happens.
Just the sore, feeling like I ate glass feeling that I get after an attack.
It is all weird.
Any input?

When I first started having stomach issues I thought it was gastroparesis. I would eat and be overfull. Most people with gastroparesis vomit. Some don't. Basically your stomach is not moving. The muscles have stopped moving so the food is not going down.
Now it is known that diabetics develop this condition. (Not all diabetics) Doctors don't really know why this happens to people with diabetes. Since your pancreas controls your sugar you may be having a sugar related complication. Do you have diabetes? Could you possibly have undiagnosed diabetes? Right now I am hypoglycemic. Sugar too low.
The GES will let the drs see what is going on. So this vomiting may not be a pancreatic cancer symptom. I will pray for you. Keep us posted on your test results. I have read posts on another support site with people who have some success treating gastroparesis with select vitamins and herbs.
I am not overly concerned about pancreatic cancer. I don't know why, just not. But I was wondering what all it could be. You info is some good food for thought... about the only food I can eat. :P
As far as I know I have not tested for diabetes yet. I am not sure if he did that in the last blood work. I will ask.
I have MS and so that also, might play into all the gastroparesis, unsure, who really knows.
My first step is make sure this vomiting, nausea and feeling full is from my stomach not emptying right, then is so, make sure it is not a blockage or cancer. Then we move on from there.
I will look into the vitamins and such if dx with gastroparesis.
Thanks for you reply.
