Can Pancreatitis Cause Nausea, Vomiting And Abdominal Pain?
It seems every 4 - 6 months I am in the er with nausea, vomiting and bad abdominal pain. my lipase levels were 15,000 and I underwent many test for gallstones. I ended up having my gallbladder removed, however the nausea, burping and vomiting still occur along with the pain and I am sent running to the er to get relief. I have been told I have pancreatitis am I am seeing a GI doc about it. What are your thoughts?

Dear Fiend.
Welcome to HCM.
i am here to hel;p you.
You probably had Acute Pancreatitis at the time when your Lipase levels were so high.
Getting gall bladder removed , will not solve the problem of Pancreatitis if it is now chronic.
I advise you following :
1. Serum Amylase and Lipase.
2. LFT
3. USG Abdomen.
4. CECT Abdomen
5. Serum Creatinine.
Review with us with the reports for a better help
