Hi,

The rib pain could be due to lost electrolytes in diarrhoea fluid. You can investigate with stool culture report if diarrhoea still continues.

For pancreatitis Symptomatic management should be done. Antibiotic course and the anti-inflammatory drug prescribed in such cases.

It's advisable to take a low-fat diet. If pancreatitis is severe than feeding tube needs to be inserted to give feeding.

You should consult a gastroenterologist for a detailed evaluation and follow the advice.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
