Have had pain in upper right abdomen behind rib cage for one year, told three doctors, told I had lost 25 lbs. over a year. No one paid attention and on June 14 admitted to hospital for four days with elevated lipase 15,000. Waiting now for a MRICP which in Canada could take ages. Was not given a diet when discharged yesterday, am very frustrated, angry and very very upset no one paid attention! Have been on Lipitor for years with no problem. Am type 11 diabetic and they changed my med to januvia.

@talilah, this does sound frustrating. Remember that the squeaking wheel gets the grease. Might you be able to call the hospital from which you were discharged to request an appointment with a dietitician? Dealing with 2 conditions for which diet guidelines are important can be confusing. It helps to get help. You might also contact your family doctor for recommendations or a referral to a dietician.
