Pancreatic divisum and Barretts esophagus
I have had a dull stomach pain almost 2 months. I may have one good day and then I get very fatigued. I take pantoprazole (1 a day 40 mg) and Creon 12,000. 2 pills before meals and 1 pill for snacks. Total 8 pills a day. I had pancreatitis. My question is , I am not sure what
to eat now. The dull ache is always there no matter what I eat. Does anyone know who specializes in both these problems?
They did an ERCP test and I was told they rarely find pancreatic divisum as they usually find it when they do autopsies.
In my 20’s, they said I had gall stones. When I was operated on they shot dye into the bile ducts and found no stones and that I was born without a gall bladder! My answer then was, I would never have an attack again it was all from my 5th lumbar vertebrae! I only had a couple attacks over the next 50 years. This all has been so frustrating as I sure don’t want to develop cancer from this. They said I have lived with this problem all my life and surgery would be a very delicate operation and I should live with it. I am now 78 years old but have always been a very active person.
