Pancreas Divisum: Does anyone else have this and know they have it?

The agony of this birth defect is something I’d never wish on anyone. It has caused Chronic Pancreatitis (I am not a drinker). Am I the only one here who has it? Has anyone found anything that helps?

Hi @renocmh
To help connect you with other members living with pancreas divisum, like @geri1 @mjemjm @harper7745 @divadenise @slb50 and others, I moved your post to this existing discussion:

While most people with pancreas divisum will not have symptoms, it sounds like you belong to the minority who develop abdominal symptoms which have developed into chronic pancreatitis. How long have you had pancreatitis? Do you find eating earlier in the day helps?
