Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 I have posted in the past but mostly just read other posts. My daughter (9 years old) was diagnosed with hereditary pancreatitis in May and was also hospitalized for pancreatitis in Sept. She was in for 9 days came home on TPN for a week because she couldn't eat. She hasn't seemed to gotten back to herself yet. She experiences nausea and mild pain intermittently. She just doesn't seem to feel good a lot and is really pale. I and other members of my family (mom, sister and my other 7 year old daughter were also tested and also have the gene for hereditary pancreatitis. My sister has chronic pancreatitis and I also have had several bouts. Just wanted some advice from other parents or anyone on what I can do to try to make her feel better. Is there a special diet that could help or should I take her to her back to the doctor? She is also experiencing some depression over how unfair it is for her to have this problem. She also has hypercalcuira which is the disorder that causes you to form kidney stones. Sorry to ramble on just wanted to know if any of you had any advice. Thanks Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Debbie, there is some evidence that people with chronic pancreatitis are antioxidant deficient and England developed an antioxitant therapy. It's controversial because those studies replicated in the US didn't work. Some say that because of we synthesize all our products it doesn't work fully. I'm looking into taking the antioxidant stuff myself because I'm always tired. See, England doesn't sythesize their herbs, they take the actual plant and boil it down, extract or whatever they have to do to the plant to remove the appropriate herb,mineral etc. they want. It's expensive though, about $125 a month US money. I have a file here somewhere on it or you could ask Debs in New Zealand to forward the information since she's taking the stuff and is having good success with it. Kimber -- Kimber hominid2@...
