8 year old son's pancreatitis

[Guest guest]

Donna,

you might as the doctors to check the pancreatic duct for a rare

birth defect called pancreatic divisum (the y shaped duct is divided into two ducts is basically what it is). Doctors are supposed to check for this after the 3rd case of pancreatitis with no known cause.

Donna, I had pancreas divisim and after 16 years of pain and attacks I just recently had my pancreas removed and the islets transplanted into my liver.

I am doing great and eating everything. I do have to eat one half of a meal every two hours until my body is adjusted to the changes from the surgery.

I tried ercp's, stents, everything out there. Shirley
