I am looking for others that have pancreatic insufficiency. I do not produce enzymes. I take them in pills. I am not diabetic but I crave sweets. I have never had pain, so I feel so bad for all of you that do. They say my pancreas is severely damaged, yet it still works on the endocrine side. They tell me not to drink alcohol or eat a high fat diet. They say I have chronic pancreatitis but I wonder since I have never suffered like all of you. Is there anyone out there like me?
I have what is called a mild case of CP. I had acute pancreatitis 5 years ago. Then another attack last year. The doctor’s are trying to figure out why I haven’t been in and out of the hospital more often.
