No but I'm going to try it. I really feel that I've got inflammation going on every where in my body for some reason that the doctors can't figure out. My bones hurt, I've got slightly enlarged lymph nodes in various places...the list goes on. I've had an EUS which shows problems with my pancreas but the doctors don't know why. I had sludge in my gallbladder so I had it removed but it hasn't helped. I've had biopsies which don't show anything but inflammation. I don't know where to turn for answers anymore. It's very frustrating. I'm tempted to go to a hollistic doctor to see what they have to say.

Thanks for the comment Sues. Same here, but have an answer. Gallbladder removed in 2005 with my first episode of over a year of abdominal pain. Since late in 2009 it resurfaced and as of May 2011, the Cleveland Clinic diagnosed me with Sjogren's Syndrome. My pancreas enzyme tests were low. Saw a number of doctors over two days and a lip biopsy in about 45 mins diagnosed it. Have had symptoms for years with fatigue, muscle, bone pain etc. You ever been tested with a salivary gland biopsy? Pancreas is often impacted by Sjogren's. Inflammation everywhere is a common trait. Let me know if you try the drink. I think I'm going to sink the 70 bucks for the 6 pack advertised, just to try it.

That's intersting. I remember reading about Sjogren's disease when I was googling autoimmune diseases because I was sure this was my problem. From what I remember, Sjogren's is another mysterious disease that can be caused by another autoimmune problem.

I don't know what to think anymore or where to turn. The last time I saw my GI he was making it sound like this was all in my head. He said my tests were normal when it showed that I had 4 out of the 9 criteria for CP on an EUS. My duodenum also showed chronic inflammation. I have enlarged lymph nodes all over my body per a cat scan and my left adrenal gland is enlarged. How can he say this is normal? I have diarrhea every day and I have episodes of nausea and pain in my upper left stomach. I'm so frustrated.

I've never had a biopsy of my salivary gland. Maybe I should try seeing someone who specializes in autoimmune disorders. How are they treating your Sjogren's? I also remember reading that sometimes it simply goes away on it's own. I hope this happens for you.

Gentain is an herb that is said to be great for pancreatitis. It doesnt grow here so I havent been able to try it but it has great reviews. Well I did try a friend's store bought gentain tincture one time and just one dose seemed to help calm my pancreas a little so I bet using it often would be helpful. But the price isnt so helpful to my wallet :(

Other natural anti-infmammatory herbs that grow here that Ive tried are goldenrod, dandelion, milkthistle, burdock and others.

Also coconut milk seems to help keep the inflammation down even though it is a fat. There is something about coconuts that are helpful to the pancreas. If I run out of coconut milk and cant get any for a while my pancreatitis will start acting up.
