17 years ago i develop necrotizing pancreatitis due to gallstones. is it safe to drink 5 percent alcohol wine coolers.? i've been very healthy since.

Pancreatitis: Hello, I am assuming that the cause of your pancreatic swelling ie gallstones were removed. Pancreatic irritation has probably completely resolved so i would think that you can enjoy your wine cooler with little risk for a recurrence in your pancreatitis. Especially in moderation. It's always a good idea to check with your family doctor who knows you best.

If your doctor: Is sure that your pancreatits was caused by gallstones alone and not from alcohol, and you had gallbladder surgery with no suspicion of recurrent stones, it is probably safe to try small amounts of alcohol. Ask your doctor for specific recommendation.

Probably ok: Most things in moderation are ok. If you think it causes pain, then stop. Hope this helps!
