I am wondering the same thing. I have been diagnosed with pancreatitis. I believe acute. I am not a heavy drinker but I have had many years of stress with a diet of much cheeses and meats and Mexican food along with accompanying one-two max drinks. I am now off all alcohol and cleaned up my diet. I have had most my years with IBS. I never had the usual horrible pancreatitis symptoms that includes fever, vomiting, diarrhea. I just had a painful upper stomach and elevated pancreatic tests that lasted one week after being evaluated. Problem is, I am taking enzymes at meals and the gas continues and some usual IBS symptoms but I can't tell now if it is my pancreas causing all this or the IBS. Nothing seems to be normal anymore. I still have to do a endoscopic ultrasound but the docs don't feel it is an emergency so I am waiting months to get in. It is scary and frustrating. I have my gallbladder and it is fine. Anyone else experiencing this nightmare?? It does feel that when I exercise my stomach does better. I've been on the computer non-stop during the pandemic. I wonder if that caused it or I got sick shortly after getting a CV19 booster! I need more answers! Sorry you are suffering too.
