Does anyone take Pancrease, digestive enzymes?

Sounds like you need a 2nd opinion. I have a friend who had a gallstone stuck in the duct that connects the pancreas to the gall bladder. He had to have half the pancreas removed as the stone caused his pancreas to die. His amylase and lipase were off the roof. If you have a blockage in the small bowel from endometriosis, I don't think that would affect the pancreas enzymes. Food is digested before going to the small bowel. I would highly recommend a 2nd opinion. Sounds like you are getting nowhere with your doctor. If you have pancreatitis, steroids is the treatment. That is what I am on. I will keep praying for you and hope you get answers. Louise

I went to the Mayo Clinic In Phoenix & I did have the scope where they look at the ducts & check everything & it was ok. I also saw a pancreas specialist there & he said the enzymes were caused from my Gastritis. When I went to the dr. out here in my town he says I have mild pancreitis & that is why he keeps checking the levels. What type of dr. should I be seeing?. I live to far to keep going back to the Mayo Clinic & they did not help me anyways. I have been going there for 2 years & they did not help me in any way. I will mention steroids to the dr. bc I will be seeing him again in Oct to check the levels. Hope your doing alright. Thank you for my prayers. Your on my prayers list as I pray every morning when I get up. God Bless Genie
