Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Hello , I'm Becky one of the moderators. How long have you had Pancreatitus? This is my 4th year and I am considerd chronic now, Pancreatitus pain is like no other......it's a stabbing undr the ribs can be left or right depending on which end of the pancreas is ticked off. Destention and swelling along with tenderness, especially when you lay down is possible. M t treatment plan includes the following. Stop eating immediatly. If your pancreas is mad and you keep feeding it it gets madder and hurts worse! Take in minimal water or other liquids. If this does not subside the pain you need to get to ER quickly. They will usually hydrate by IV and give you morophine for the pain. Sometimes they put in a NG tube to empty my tummy. As for follow up......stay away from beef, fats, grease, dairy, cheese,breads, anything with shells or pods. I hope this helps!

It hurts every time that I eat. Does anyone have other things I should look for if it is pancreatitis?..........and how do you get this better?
