Elevated amylase and lipase but pancreas appears normal. Thoughts?

I have had high lipase and amylase for a year now. MRCP showed normal pancreas and no inflammation. Ultrasound also showed no inflammation. When my levels are high I have zero symptoms of pancreatitis. EGD was normal. I am gaining weight and can’t lose weight. The only symptom I have is a weird “catching feeling” under my left ribs. No one can figure it out. I’ve seen two specialists and they are at a loss. No alcohol abuse ever. Please help! I am trying to have a second baby and I’m worried about this. I’m worried they are missing something. Cancer etc. Thanks!

I'd like to invite @thefam2016 @arnold1957 @astaingegerdm @harper7745 and @tigreyes2004 back to the conversation to greet you. Rose, would you mind sharing how high your lipase and amylase are?
