Question: How do I know if I have acute or chronic pancreatitis? (I can tell you almost everything I've eaten since I've had it and I can tell you what caused it) and does it ever heal and can I eventually go back and enjoy a slice of pizza? Also what vitamins and foods can I take to speed up the healing process? P.S I don't have greasy stools, I don't have nausea episodes, I work out 5 times a week, I have experienced weight loss prior to working out, and I don't have pain in my abdomen, but Its like I feel my pancreas is there (just a little uneasy is the best way to describe it but it doesn't hurt). Finally what are the signs of recovery?

I have CT and MRI scans, blood work all that stuff. They did the whole microscope thing and took a piece for further testing. You name it they did it. after maybe 4 or 5 days while I was there, I was able to eat a XXXXXXX sandwich with minimal to no pain (last I could remember).while I was there (for 6 and 1/2 days) my amylase and lypase results were like somewhere between 700-1500 last I could remember and that was late December early January. Its not stones or anything blocking it, just inflamed pancreas form alcohol. I definitely got pancreatitis, do to an alcohol incident (1 time binge and I will NEVER consume it again) also I've never had any previous incidents. Also alcoholism runs in the family and so does diabetes (I haven't hit puberty either which I think my pancreas might have something to do with that since it deals with the endocrine system, and probably why after 1 incident I got pancreatitis but that is irrellevant). I am healthy and Im not allergic to anything. This is the only case Ive ever had in my life that was medical related. Also, I dont smoke or do drugs. P.S. right now Im on Prilosec and was recommended to take 2 a day. Also would you suggest I take the pancreas enzyme pills to help with digestion?

I'm working on getting my hands on the reports and I had diarrhea initially while I was at the hospital, but I dont have it anymore and I only experience abdominal pain when I over eat or when I eat proccessed foods (like gronola almmond bar or Ritz crackers, which I knew was kind of bad for me, but it wasnt like eating a slice of pizza). What I have been eating that works for me is Blueberry Greek Yogurt, because it has no fat, 29 grams of protein and I believe the blueberry is great for my pancreas (something about radical protection and Vitamin C). My biggest concern is losing wieght because I weigh 142 IBs and I have to workout for 5 days of the week because of ROTC and with pancreatitis it makes it hard for me cause I want to eat more then the recommended 4 to 6 small snacks throughout the day (I can control it, its just a desire to eat more which is probably from old habits)
