Hi @harper7745,
I'd sincerely encourage you to visit the Gastroenterology & GI Surgery Page on Connect, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/gastroenterology-and-gi-surgery/ – an incredible resource for information, current therapies, clinical trials, etc; you can also browse through newsfeed posts from Mayo Clinic experts. For instance, in this video, Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist, Dr. Santhi Swaroop Vege M.D., shares how new treatment protocols for pancreatitis/pancreatic cancer are improving outcomes.

@harper7745 I am not sure how much I can add to this discussion because my 4 attacks of pancreatitis were about 20 years ago. I do know that there was no question about whether or not I had pancreatitis - the pain was excruciating (under the ribs on the right side and all the way through to my back). At that time, doctors did a blood test to check for amalayse levels to verify the diagnosis of pancreatitis. Hope that the specialist can find some answers for you.
