Chronic Pancreatitis

Recently diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis. Was very concerned as to why I was having extreme pain in my upper back for several days and ended up in the ER with what I suspected as heart issues. They did the work up for my heart and sent me home telling me to follow up with gastroenterologist. Gastroenterologist ordered x-rays and CT scan as well as blood work. Came back with off the charts lipase and amylase as well as high bilirubin. I've never experienced pain like this before and wonder if anyone has any ideas as to advice on diet and reducing the frequency of my attacks. Thanks.

Welcome @forrestj. I moved your question about chronic pancreatitis to this discussion of the same name:

I did this so you can read the previous posts and connect with other members like @gimess @christopher40 @cehunt57 @harper7745 @ladyaceintx1 @judyashby111 and others.

What pain management have your doctors suggested?
