Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Hi Pam, Yes I'm old enough to remember Cisco (Duncan Renaldo) Just a quick idea, you may be having a problem with water, and fatigue, because of an electrolyte imbalance. Sometimes when the water is there but the very slight sugar and salt content is low, the result can cause problems. Water does tend to wash salts and sugars from the system. So, I suggest adding a very little sugar and salt to each glass of water. For a pint of water (two glasses) add like one half teaspoon sugar and just a pinch of salt or sodium bicarbonate. Those amounts are almost too small to taste but they will help the system as a whole. Don't expect instant results of feeling better, that would take a little time. The bigger issue is this won't hurt, it's cheap, and it may help a little. Hope you are having a good day, we are hopefully waiting for a little rain in Atlanta as we are down almost 6 inches for the year.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Pam, I use to suffer from diarrhea, but as my CP has progress I don't have it anymore, I have just the opposite of it, because of the pain meds, morphine and perocet. So now I have to take stool softners, It seems with this dreaded CP, you go from one extreme to the other. I think as the pancreatitis progress and they say it burns out, that the diarrhea settles down some. So your not alone with not having no diarrhea.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Louie, Even with burn out, the diahhrea doesn't fully disappear. I've reached the technical " burn out " stage (my enzymes are normal when I have an attack now, but I still have constant pain) and I have problems with diahhrea when I eat something with too much fat in it, despite the enzyme pills and pain meds.
