Hi.
As has been rightly noted on ultrasonography and and as advised by your GI, this looks to be pancreatitis. There are various reasons of pancreatitis and may also be related to the diseases of the liver and gall bladder, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, alcoholism and so on.
The best way to get a proper diagnosis, I would advise you to undergo MRCP- Magnetic resonance CholecystoPancreatography and Endoscopic ultrasonography and CT scan.
Every investigation shows together a proper diagnosis and then er can plan a proper course of management.
IF required an ERCP for diagnosis and treatment like sphincetotomy, stenting can be done to give you proper relief.
The tests of liver function, sugar are a must as also a test of stool .
