Hi , much of dealing with Panc. is a bit of trial and error for each

individual. While some symptoms and experience are common there are

significant differences in reactions and actions and effects for any person.

However, if you try alcohol and have a Panc. attack I don't think it's worth

the pain or the chance of the pain.

I suggest we all strive to attain a lifestyle that minimizes the symptoms of

Panc. and maximizes the ability to live as normal a life as possible. However

we reach that goal covers a lot of choices.

Best of luck with your decisions

I do not and cannot drink. Haven't had a drink in about a dozen years.

First of all, I developed an allergy to alcohol. It made me very ill.

Secondly, my CP led to diabetes. Drinking is a no-no with the meds.

This is my theory:

Living without an occasional drink is no big deal.

Even if I could, I wouldn't drink with a bad pancreas.

It's not worth worrying about the risk of a flare up.

Upon first meeting me, several GI doctors simply assumed that my CP was

caused by booze and they admonished me.

My husband and I would simply laugh as we told them that I don't drink. And

when I did, it was a rare occurrence.

I was less that a social drinker.

I've been fortunate in that my liver enzymes have remained normal. My liver

is, however, enlarged with fatty deposits.

Booze can destroy that organ and wouldn't want to have to deal with

additional problems.

Dear , I am sure you will have many different responses regarding this

question. So I will just give you my experience, which doesn't mean that it

would be same results as you might have, so here goes, I was diagnosed

w/hereditary panc since 1990 and I didn't consume any alcohol for 7 years, even

to the extent of foods being prepared in wine, cough medicine containing

alcohol, etc., etc.,. I still had many attacks, so I asked my GI if I could

have an occassional drink and he said it was trail and error, So I did

experiment and have had no problems to having direarrha to having mild pain. So

I usually don't drink, but I will have an occassional one. My major attacks

were not affected at all. Hope this helps a little. Sue C

the pancreas and alcohol

If my pancreatitis is not caused by alcohol is it still safe to drink a glass

of wine every now and then?

has anyone had any experiences with this?

Hope everything is well

From everything I have researched and what I have been told by the

docs, alcohol is like poison to the pancreas. Even though yours is

not caused by alcohol, the alcohol could certainly cause a flare. I

wouldn't risk it.

Take care

Dear ,

Considering that you already have had pancreatitis,you shouldn't do

anything that you know contributes to an attack. It's too risky. I

even check my meds(for example:a neurologist wanted me to take

depakote for migraines,I saw a warning on WebMd about it triggering

life threatening pancreatitis in the general population,so

considering my problem I decided the benefits weren't worth the risk.

Hope this helps,

Amy
