What Causes High Lipase Levels?

My Lipase levels are high at 158. The amylase level is at 82, which is normal. What could be the cause of this. My present doctor as well as my last primary care doctor do not seem concerned. This has been the case for at least 11 years. I have a sensitivity to gluten and wheat.Could there be a correlation? I do not have abdominal pain just sensitivity to wheat, gluten and some dairy. Thanks so much! Carol Ann Trifiletti

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You lipase level is high with normal amylase level. But it is like that for last 11 years with no any abdominal pain or other symptoms. So nothing to worry about enzymes level. Avoid wheat, rye, barley and other dairy products against which you have allergy. No other treatment is required right now.
Just be relaxed.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
