Thank you for the helpful information. Presently I am on Prednisone for 2 months. Took Prednisone for 2 weeks and MRI showed great improvement, Had the CP stool problem which kind of went away, but came back, so GI put me on Creon. I was losing weight and many stools. I plan to take your advice after this Prednisone Rx is over. Louise Harper

I also was diagnosed with CP, did 47 days of Prednisone and have an MRI scheduled for April to see if it shrunk the benign mass on the head of my pancreas. According to my GI, after all my other testing, if the mass shows improvement...this confirms an autoimmune diagnosis. Trying to determine what caused the mass has been difficult as my GI is not forthcoming with alot of information or in answering my questions. The diagnosis is important because it determines treatment and if the body can attack the pancreas, it could also attack other organs as well. Good luck to you and hope you get answers and feel better soon.
