Could this be chronic pancreatitis?

@ladyaceintx1 I am doing well, got my biopsy results they were clean 🙂

As far as my rib pain issues, very tame and quiet as of late but I have been absolutely no nonsense on diet. My rib gets itchy time to time and there is a little burning sensation every once in a while but no major flare ups.

I got another MRCP to double check the first for anything possibly missed and this one came back as perfectly clean no issues no mention of iron deposits.

So I am kinda left guessing as to what exactly is going on. I know that foods that are high in saturated fat set me off. So thats how I will manage it and hope for the best!

My boyfriend and I have been experimenting with different spices and flavors to make low fat meals more appetizing, as well as baking/making our own healthier chocolate. Its been a good couple of months as we are both working on staying healthy together and has been fun in the kitchen. Happy to be eating something besides oatmeal, bananas, and boiled chicken/rice which is all I could stomach for a while there :’(

I hope you are well!

Hi! Great to hear that you are feeling better! I'm so glad your tests came back with clean results. My second Pancreatic biopsy also came back clean/negative for cancer which is great but we are still predisposed to it at any point in our life. There is still no cause known for the Chronic Pancreatitis. My GI won't call it autoimmune so I'm still left wondering. Do you have a known cause for your diagnosis? Cooking together on the kitchen sounds fun and it's great that you are so creative in finding other ways to prepare food that still fits with your required diet. I experimented with returning to a somewhat normal diet for 1 week although still avoiding alot of fat. It was a disaster. Doing so, swung me into diarrhea, bloating, dizziness and dehydration. I felt awful and have since returned to my regular no fat, no sodium, and "low" sugar...because that's my weakness but I only eat small squares of 72% dark chocolate.
My husband and son have also started to adopt healthier eating habits so we are all making an effort. My favorite is Avocado Toast!
Fall has finally arrived in Houston and of course, Pumpkin Spice drinks and food which I absolutely love, but can no longer have..but I'm enjoying the crisp, cool air.
Take care of yourself and let me know how you're feeling.
