A member asked:
Have chronic calcified pancreatitis as the pancreas is dying what symptoms will i have & at what point should i seek help. what do i need to watch for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maldigestion: This is a serious condition that needs attention. Your pancreas is losing its ability to produce digestive enzymes and this leads to bad digestion, diarrhea and weight loss. It also causes diabetes due to lack of insulin production. You will need to see your doctor
