Pancreatitis.: Avoid alcohol for the next few months. I would also avoid eating meat as the pancreas is stimulated by ingesting animal protein. Studies using supplemental pancreatic enzymes tend to show no benefit.

Pancreatitis : Your lab tests are not that bad ( not knowing ehat the normals for the institution are ) I would measure healing by the way you feel snd the amount of Abdominal pain your are having and not chasing the lab values . Also , your doctor may choose to do CT of the abdominal to fallow other parameters of pancreatitis , such as swelling of the pact ease or the formation of Psuedocyst . Give it time
