Sorry to hear you are having a bad spell. Get some rest and hope you feel better soon. Actually , today was my best day in weeks. I felt tired and had pain this morning, took meds and fell asleep fpr almost 2 hrs , and woke up feeling pretty good. I really appreciate the few times I feel good, since the majority of the time things are not good.

Tarabunny,
I am sorry that you are having a hard time. That is the worst part of this disease, it steals your ability to "eat well" and take care of yourself. And, it does keep getting worse. I feel like I get worse every week. It is hard to wake up each morning and know that you won't feel well. I hope that today is a bit better for you. Know that we all care and are sending our best wishes and hugs to you.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that You would put Your healing hands on Tara. I ask that You would ease her pain and give her comfort and strength to get through this terrible bout she is going through. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Get better girl! I'm in the middle of a bad flare up too, but no throwing up for me. I have really never been a puker, just terrible pain and bloating. I feel for you and I really do pray that you get better fast. I will keep you in my prayers, God bless,
Doreen

Thanks all. Headed to the doctor today. See what he says.

What did your doctor say?

Hope you got on ok at the doctors. I have periods where food flares it up. Eating very low fat at the moment after my attack but boy its boring

He thinks a lot of my pain and vomiting is caused by my stomach not emptying properly. It gets worse after an attack because sometimes pancreatitis can cause delayed stomach emptying. So, he started me on a new medication to see if it helps. I should know in a few weeks.

He is basing this on symptoms and a stomach emptying test I had done. After it showed slow emptying he did an endoscopy and made sure there was no blockage any other complications.

We will see if it works. My first meal was very little and painful... so nothing yet, but it was only my first dose.

If it gets better then we will continue that treatment. If not, call back and we will discuss further options.

It sure makes a person wanna scream and give up dont it?

When I go to buffets to eat with my family Im the only freak with a plate of cooked veggies, rice, fruit and jello since they are low fat/fat free and easier to digest. I get to sit there and watch the family eat meat, fried chicken, cheese cake, ice cream and all the good stuff.

I guess I should be glad I can still eat what I can. Ive noticed that when I eat out I need to take an extra enzyme pill along with my regular dosage in order to handle it all. Do you also have to do that while eating out?
