Hi...many a time it is very difficult to diagnose why the pancreatitis is recurring. But in your kid's case there is a pointer - celiac disease. Celiac disease should be considered in the etiology of papillary stenosis or idiopathic recurrent pancreatitis.
I suggest that this celiac disease could be the reason for her to be landing up in recurrent pancreatitis.
I suggest you consult your pediatric gastroenterologist for further work up about papillary stenosis.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
