Is pancreatitis something that goes away or is it for life? i was hospitalized 4x for it as a heavy drinker. haven't drank in 3yrs. do i still have ?

Pancreatitis: Active drinking can result in cases of acute pancreatitis. Recurrent inflammation can result in chronic pancreatitis and impaired digestion due to deficiency of digestive enzymes with associated diarrhea and possible chronic pain.
