A member asked:

For past 2yrs, my lipase has fluctuated where it is slightly elevated (20 points over the ref range of 60). had normal ct scan so dr just assumed this is my normal. but now it's 40 points over that ref range and i'm terrified of pan cancer! ?

Take it easy: Your lipase levels are neither diagnostic of nor exclude pancreatic cancer. It is unlikely that you have either pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer. Why do you keep testing for lipase? Do you have any symptoms? For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
