A member asked:

Is it possible for pancreas become inflamed or big in an ultrasound from the stomach flu and violently vomiting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nausea and vomiting: Can occur in the setting of pancreatitis. Pancreatitis can cause an inflamed appearing and enlarged pancreas. Enteritis alone (stomach flu) doesn't cause the findings you describe on ultrasound unless the pancreas is involved.
