Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol.....stay away from alcohol at all costs...it is THE leading cause of acute pancreatitis. (I'm goin through an episode of it as I am typing this. Cause: Alcohol) lots of AVOIDABLE and UNNECESSARY pain. DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL!

Malic Acid, Homeopathy

I suspect I induced an attack of pancreatitis from the new calcium supplements I recently started taking. I think the excess calcium led to a blockage; either a gallstone or a stone in my pancreatic duct. I got the idea to ingest Malic Acid powder (dissolved in water) from Andreas Moritz's books. His liver/gallbladder cleanse instructions say to drink Malic Acid to soften the stones. So, I dissolved 1/4 teaspoon Malic Acid powder in a small glass of water, and drank this a couple times. I then followed the Malic Acid with homeopathy: Belladonna 30C followed by Mercurius 30C. All better now - took less than a day to get relief!

Drink Green smoothie by Victoria Butenko. Cut back on fats, oils, and refined sugar. Blend 75% greens such as kale or collard greens with fruit and 20oz water in vitamin or high speed blender. Drink the pitcher for breakfast and lunch, you will feel lighter and in a week or so your symptoms will have improved dramatically. Stay away from alcohol and there is a list of drugs such as antibiotics that can cause acute pancreatitis, so research the list, you might have a reaction to one of these meds doing a quick google search for Drug Induced Acute Pancreatitis.

Just beware that everything marked organic may not be. My doctor had a patient that was young male started using a walker and he was declining. She began running a series of tests. a test revealed high glyphosate. The doctor asked the patient about his diet. Apparently, he had been drinking like six cups of organic green tea well the organic green tea was sprayed with glyphosate. Many times organic food can be sprayed with glyphosate, Anyhow the patient stopped the organic green tea and was cured no longer needed the walker. It is best to buy third party tested or farmer that you trust.

Cru,

I know you were asking about MCT and boron and you mentioned that boron is anti inflammatory, but melatonin is a more potent anti inflammatory and also lowers elevated levels of oxidatative stress, which are in play in acute pancreatitis, while being protective of the pancreas.

Imo, melatonin is a very good option to protect the pancreas and more specifically, ameliorate the inflammation involved in pancreatitis. Her are some links to studies that suggest the same :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3347751/#:~:text=Specific receptors for melatonin have, damage caused by acute inflammation.

Here is a relevant quote from the study :

' Specific receptors for melatonin have been detected in many gastrointestinal tissues including the pancreas. Melatonin as well as its precursor, L-tryptophan, attenuates the severity of acute pancreatitis and protects the pancreatic tissue from the damage caused by acute inflammation. The beneficial effect of melatonin on acute pancreatitis, which has been reported in many experimental studies and supported by clinical observations, is related to: (1) enhancement of antioxidant defense of the pancreatic tissue, through direct scavenging of toxic radical oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) species, (2) preservation of the activity of antioxidant enzymes; such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), or glutathione peroxidase (GPx), (3) the decline of pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis α (TNFα) production, accompanied by stimulation of an anti-inflammatory IL-10, (4) improvement of pancreatic blood flow and decrease of neutrophil infiltration, (5) reduction of apoptosis and necrosis in the inflamed pancreatic tissue, (6) increased production of chaperon protein (HSP60), and (7) promotion of regenerative process in the pancreas. '

https://benthamscience.com/article/57502

Here is a relevant quote :

' Both melatonin and its precursor have been demonstrated to protect the pancreas against acute pancreatitis and to attenuate pancreatic tissue damage. In the pancreas melatonin and L-tryptophan activate complex mechanisms which involve direct scavenging of the radical oxygen and nitrogen species, activation of antioxidant enzymes (catalase, superoxide dysmutase, glutation peroxidase), reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins, activation of heat shock protein, and a decrease of necrosis and increase of regeneration in the pancreas. There are several arguments for the idea that endogenous melatonin produced in the pineal gland and in the gastrointestinal system could be the part of a native mechanisms for protecting the pancreas against acute damage: 1/ the melatonin precursor L-tryptophan exerts similar protective effect as melatonin, 2/ application of the melatonin receptor antagonist, luzindole aggravates acute pancreatitis, 3/ pinealectomy results in the exacerbation of acute pancreatitis, 4/ low melatonin plasma levels are associated with an increased risk of severe acute pancreatitis. '

Based on the above and considering the very good safety profile of melatonin, melatonin certainly seems worthy of consideration when dealing with acute pancreatitis.

This does not even take into consideration the heart protective effects of melatonin, and this is very important because people with pancreatitis are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Here is a link to an article that I wrote about how melatonin acts as a preventative and or treatment for CVD to give you a better idea of how heart protective melatonin is :

Pancreatitis and Some Possible Help

Pancreatitis can be a devastating disease, but there are some natural options that may help in controlling pancreatitis.

One of those natural options is melatonin which is one of my favorite supplements! Melatonin is typically thought of as a non- prescription sleep aid, but it is so much more than just a sleep aid! I would like to get into those other potential health benefits, but will stick to pancreatitis for this post to keep it simple and to the point.

Melatonin has a very good safety profile, but even so, some people do not tolerate melatonin well even though it is produced in multiple areas of the human body everyday. Fortunately the majority of people do tolerate melatonin.

In this first study from 2014, it is found that in pancreatitis patients there is a tendency toward reduced melatonin type 2 receptors suggesting that this lack of MTR2 receptors may play a role in pancreatitis especially the acute form :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25055509

In this next full study it is shown that melatonin, ghrelin, and leptin may help in controlling the inflammatory process associated with acute pancreatitis and all three are naturally produced in the body :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4258559/

This next full study (2016) illustrates how a melatonin metabolite, N(1)-acetyl-N(1)-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AFMK), can attenuate acute pancreatitis in a rodent model, both in vitro and in vivo:

https://www.jpp.krakow.pl/journal/archive/06_16/pdf/411_06_16_article.pdf

In this next study it is shown that melatonin is protective in a rat model of acute pancreatitis that was induced with arginine and the melatonin was said to exhibit strong therapeutic effects in the course of acute pancreatitis in this rat model of AP. :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27830885

This next study is another study of acute pancreatitis in a rat model and it is shown that melatonin induces anti-inflammatory effects via endoplasmic reticulum stress in acute pancreatitis to play a protective role.

This next full and newer study (2017) goes into multiple details about how melatonin goes about its business when it comes to pancreatitis:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5454927/

This next and newer 2018 study delves further into how and what melatonin may be doing in pancreatitis to help alleviate symptoms and calm the excess inflammation associated with this condition :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2948439

This next study (2018) attempts to further elucidate the method of action of melatonin in pancreatitis and implies that these findings suggest that melatonin protects AR42J cells and Sprague-Dawley rats against AP-associated injury, probably through downregulation of IRE1α-mediated JNK/NF-κB pathways.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29912856

This next study from December 2018 continues in the search for the mechanism of action in how melatonin is working in these rodent models to modify the course of the disease:

This last study is new this month and goes a step further to try and determine how melatonin attenuates pancreatitis induced liver damage! Well I did say that melatonin was one of my favorite supplements!

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30694771

So what is lacking here are the actual human studies, but there are hundreds of human studies which have more than established melatonin as having a very good safety profile at multiple dosing ranges while being highly protective of the liver which is a very important factor when it comes to pancreatitis! Based on the above it is worth discussing the use of melatonin with your doctor as a potential means of helping to deal with pancreatitis effectively.

There are several natural supplements that have shown benefit in dealing with pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer such as Inositol and inositol hexakisphosphate. If you are willing to look, you will find other supplements and herbs which are likely to be quite beneficial in dealing with pancreatitis, but melatonin is a good starting point and may be as far as you have to go! Here is a typical study suggesting as much :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28965010

Obviously because of the serious and sometimes deadly nature of pancreatitis, your doctor's permission and supervision are an absolute must if you consider melatonin or anything else and the very good safety profile of melatonin will go a long way in that conversation with your doctor!

around 85% of acute pancreatitis cases are caused by alcohol... Whether long term abuse or a night of binge drinking. smoking can also aggrivate the pancreas.

i have had chronic pancreatitis since 2005. I have also been hospitalized around 40 times for acute pancreatitis. I did not drink but did smoke. it took six years of testing and hospitalizations before doctors in pittsburgh at UPMC determined what the root cause of my attacks were. I have pancreas divism. basically, the duct that pancreatic enzymes flow through to reach the duodenum does not work. my enzymes flow through an auxillary duct which is very narrow compared to the main duct. this duct becomes blocked and the enzymes flow back into the pancreas and actually start digesting the pancreas. pancreas divism is not all that uncommon and usually won't cause acute pancreatitis by itself. pittsburgh did dna gene testing and determined that I have a mutated spink1 gene. this gene along with the divism keeps causing me to have acute pancreatitis over and over. there is no cure but I periodically have stents placed into my pancreatic duct to ensure enzyme flow.

pancreatitis has become more common over the past 15-20 years, especially in men. for people who don't drink alcohol, diet is probably the main cause. a low fat diet helps to keep the pancreas from working too hard. also, foods that are more difficult to digest like red meats should be minimized. there's no need to go full on vegetarian or vegan, but just limiting the amount of all meats in one's diet will be beneficial.

also, there are supplements with pancreatic enzymes that are helpful. anything with amylase, lipase, and protease can be taken to help digest food and keep the pancreas from having to work too much.

diet and supplements are good starts and can really help minimize pancreatic episodes. however, pancreatitis is very serious and there is no substitute for medical care by a specialist... And not a GI doctor, a pancreas specialist. I actually know more about acute and chronic pancreatitis than my family doctor.

In answer to all the questions:

My sister took it until she was cured. Several days in hospital. She took it several times with in that year as needed for occasional pain but never has had an pancreatic issues again. My family purchased papaya nectar or juice and also vera juice. I am sure a health food store or grocery store has both available. I assume organic is better. Doesn't matter which papaya family, any kind of papaya is acceptable. Doesn't matter whether it is green or yellow papaya. Just the combination. 1/3 of a cup of each .. several times a day till pain and symptoms subside.

Take until pain subsides and take only as needed for prevention.

I don't know about the powder, our experience has been to combining the 2 juices, manufactured prepared and bottle separately. We mixed them equal parts of 13 each to create the drink that cured my sister. I pray it has helped you too.

I am so grateful that this remedy / cure continues to heal people.

I'm not sure about cellulite, but I'm sure if anything would work ACV would. I had horrible acne and started applying it straight topically and taking two table spoons internally daily. Also started applying it to my arm pits nightly. I had a horrible problem with deodorant not working after my first pancreatic attack. I now only have to apply deodorant once in the morning. No reapplying 3 or 4 times during the day. I noticed after about a week that I was using the restroom more regularly. Because I have Pancreatitis, sometimes my food does not digest properly. The ACV has also helped with this. I have never believed in anything the way I believe in Apple Cider Vinegar. It is inexpensive and good for you. So even if it doesn't work for Cellulite it will make you feel better over all. I have heard of people using ACV as a fat flush to lose weight. Maybe that is why it has helped with some peoples cellulite. Good Luck!!!

I too have an ongoing Pancreas condition, I am a 44 year old male and I started incorporating ACV into my Diet a week ago. plain old ACV and balsamic vinegar in dressing and such. after years of suffering I am feeling much better over all. Normally I am always starving especially after eating healthier foods and veggies. now I feel much more satisfied and my digestion has improved. I believe ACV can benefit most people on "Proton pump inhibitors" and the like. The Doctors have been trying to get me to take them for years. never seemed like a good Idea to disable part of my digestion process. I always disliked sour and vinegary things, turns out it's what the doctor should have "Ordered" long ago..

This might be worth noting, my doctor told me about a patient in his 30's that was using a walker. The MD ran tests and found high glyphosate. The doctor asked about his diet, he had started drinking ORGANIC green tea about a year ago, and he started drinking it 5 to 6 cups a day. Got him off the green tea and detoxed him he no longer needs the walker and went back to work . Just because it states it is organic doesn't mean it is so be cautious. Third party testing is important.

If you search on facebook there are a number of support groups for pancreatitis. Your children need pancreatitis specialist, and best thing for them to address that awful pain is an auto islet cell transplant. There are a number of centers that do this transplkant. I've had it for over 12 years, and am waiting to have the procedure done myself. Our center closed for a number of years, but is now up and running again in Tucson Banner Hospitial. I'm seeing Dr. Harland. He's very nice, and I do believe they see out of state patients as well. Other locations include Baylor in TX. MN, Nebraska, and MA all have pancreas centers. The FB groups hold a wealth of information. This said I would still take all the natural health recommendations one can get. I juice dandelion greens, spinach in equal amounts cucumbers, and fuji, or similar apples. It helps give energy and doesnt hurt me. I also eat soft foods in small amounts, like applesauce, puddings, veggies, soups, and can occassionally have a soft bread/cake treats, or ice cream. I can also do chocolate for treats. I use enemeez plus enemas for relief of gases and stool that causes presssure, and use miralax to keep stool soft. Thats important, for helping the pain. I also use domperidone for gasteoperisis. That's been very helpful. I am now doing antifungals like ivermectin to help with any viral condition, and for cleanses. I find it helps me a lot! I just feel better when Im on it. I have alot more to learn and expierment with in the natural health remedies, so that's why I stopped by today. This is my two cents on the subject. I realize I'm replying to an old post, but hopefully this might help others as well. Pancreatic conditions are horrific. Hopefully together we can find what works to heal, help, or cure these conditions.

Vivek,

As I mentioned, there are currently only animal studies for the use of melatonin for Pancreatitis, so human dosing has not yet been established. This is also why I say that you have to include your doctor's guidance in using melatonin for Pancreatitis because Pancreatitis can kill you and your doctor will know or can find out if supplemental melatonin will be compatible with all of your current medications.

If you want to try increasing your melatonin levels naturally and safely, you can just expose yourself to earlier morning sun and later afternoon sun. In one study this more than doubled morning melatonin levels.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4935707/#:~:text=Results:, 29.89 (P=0.003).

I also suggest that when you get this sun exposure, you don't wear shoes, socks or sandals and let your feet be exposed to the earth such as dirt or grass. Try for 30 minutes of earlier morning sun exposure with bare feet.

If you find benefit with this practice, then you should have that discussion with your doctor about supplementing melatonin and possibly other supplements such as Probiotics w/ prebiotics in them (Synbiotics). Notice the dosage used in this study:

Magnesium may also be useful for multiple reasons and is also worth discussing with your doctor:

Indian ayurveda CAN cure chronic pancreatitis :) Many have successfully done this in India. Fllow a pitta paciying diet. Drink 1.5 L cool water twice everyday. Cool shower. Keep everything cool. Drink coconut water. You will see improvment in 3 days. Diet is fruit pulp, vegetable pulp for 2 months. Avoid sour fruits. Many cases can heal pancreatitis this way. Drink 500 ml water around 4 hours after sleeping at night. I am seeing a HUGE difference. God bless you. Please send your blessings to me if this works :)

Thank you, Ted, for your comments on acid forming foods. I suffered several attacks of acute pancreatitis over a period of about 6 months before I discovered what was causing it. I would get symptoms soon after eating 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed (which I ground myself). My daughter used the same product with no problems so I don't think it was contaminated. I have read that raw seeds and grains (that have not been cooked or sprouted) contain a growth inhibitor that require pancreatic enzymes to break down and digest so I came to the conclusion that I may be depleted of some of these enzymes. I am 61 years old this happened about 5 years ago, I have never had these symptoms before or since (I now avoid raw flaxseed meal) and I have never had a problem with indigestion (always considered myself to have a 'cast iron stomach'). I have eaten other raw nuts and seeds and have had no reaction. What do you think?

Thank you,
Janet

First, do you filter your water, air? It appears you need to support your Thyroid by supplementing Coconut Oil and Iodine. Skipping one meal fast is usually a good thing, and more live foods/juicing is easier on digestion. Alkalizing is often tricky as it varies with the severity of the individual condition. You can purchase test strips to measure the PH of Saliva. Infection in general will cause acidosis but die-off will cause much acidosis so you will need to alkalize fallowing the herbal para cleanse which needs done 2x day. Also take one spoon Milled Flax Seed to keep Colon clean. Your Kidney cleanse list looks good and you report no stones so postpone that and concentrate on the Pancreas. Try to find Dr Christopher's P-14 herbal Pancreas formula. Solaray has a different type product but effective called Pancreas Caps that contains Raw Pancreas Substance unlike the P-14. Raw Liver and Raw Pancreas tablets will help much. Continue with ACV and Lemon. Take a good Multivitamin?mineral plus extra Chromium to help metabolism in general and specifically burning carbs & sugars. If you don't see any improvement soon you may need to do Zapping to kill infections. Calcium 2-AEP will help incorporate minerals into cells to improve salivation/dehydration. Hope this helps and hope to hear back as to your progress.

Ted is correct here, we went on a three day. water fast where you only drink water three days every week for a month. I was in keto since I checked my urine with keto stick. Keto is NOT for everyone! The last week the upper part of my stomach burned, queasy feeling then aching in the upper diagram . Felt uncomfortable to try to sleep on my stomach a little pressure. My doctor ran full bloodwork, CAT Scan with contrast, X-ray and they found nothing. Checked for H pylori and Cdiff all negative. The doctor suggested a water IV with electrolytes. I declined and just increased my water intake and started taking electrolytes. Told me to see a GI doctor if it continued. I started doing Ted's alkalizing formula three times a day. Also drank ginger water and aloe vera juice with papayas juice three times a day. Castor oil pack 2x a day . Along with water with drop or two of peppermint oil to calm my stomach and a couple tablespoons of lactose free organic kefir and taking probiotics daily. Calming simple diet for a fews, like Ayurvedic type with just kitcharee and started eating kimchee.

Ok.... I figured this out after my first attack.

1. LOW FAT VEGAN MEAL
2. EAT SMALL AMOUNTS multiple times- large amounts put load on pancreas
3. Take grapefruit seed extract, Good Digestive enzymes, Turmeric
4. Don't take tea or coffee, especially after meals
5. I took tea with milk after heavy lunch and it caused an attack
6. Take activated charcoal capsules if you eat fats
7. Pancreatitis is progressive destruction of pancreas caused by acute pancreatitis attacks. So it important to prevent attacks at all costs.
8. TAKE PAPAYA AND ALOE VERA AS SUGGESTED BY OTHERS

You can live a long life if you follow this strictly.

SOLUTION FOR PANCREATITIS-FINALLY!!!

Guys I want to share a panacea solution. Please try sungazing in the morning within first hour of sunrise. It helped me get rid of pain in my stomach due to pancreatitis. Also reduces hunger. In addition to sungazing. Sun gives us vitamin D and other nutrients and also controls the pineal gland which is linked to pancreas and digestive system. In addition, I also suggest drinking 1.5 L water in morning and also agnihotra (google it). These 3 things helped me to be normal life again. Now I am pain free.

The standard treatment for pancreatitis is fasting, but your pancreas has to be failing by the time they give you the treatment. Since hospitals don't expect you to be able to tolerate fasting for longer than 12 hours, and the time needed is about 5 days, they tube feed you, etc. If you want to avoid the indignity of that, just fast on water only, ie. absolutely nothing passes your lips other than water. Why doesn't this article mention fasting? Why does it tell you to eat things? That's the opposite of what helps. Selenium and megadose Niacinamide also helps, but make sure there's no rice flour or starch in it, or the pancreas has to work again and more pain is the result. I think the cause is an infection, but good luck proving it, or finding the right medicine for it. Looks like most of the antibiotics just make it worse. Maybe it's a fungus or virus?

Dear Duane, I am so happy to hear of your father's success and it has also given me hope. My husband has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer also. He is living in another city at this time but will be home the weekend after Thanksgiving. He developed jaundice and a horrible rash which led to the diagnois. He has a tumor in his liver and has a stint inserted to drain the poison from his body. He has improved a bit from this procedure. I am steadily looking for alternatives for him once he arrives. If you would take the time to respond in more detail about your Dad's treatment I would be so grateful. You may email me at pantwine(at)msn.com.

Hey TimH,

I hope I can get a reply from you :). I also have pancreatitis and have had good results with black walnut. I see you use the hulda clark protocol with wormwood/cloves/black walnut. My problem is that as soon as I stop taking the black walnut my enzymes start getting trapped in my pancreas again and start to swell. So I was wondering if you experienced the same? And also how long do you take this stuff for because technically black walnut and wormwood are for sort term only.

Thanks in advance.

Alex: It appears there may be more organs involved than the Pancreas. A stagnate & infected gallbladder can cause pancreatitis so you may need to do a Gallbladder Cleanse. The Liver will need some support also. Take a "Milk Thistle Combination" herbal product and also eat or juice Beets regularly.

Back to the P and paras. I strongly advise a Basic Hulda Clark Zapper to be used as whole body and specifically in the problem area. The Zapper will increase the power of the herbs. Also consider adding the other herbs I mentioned in previous post to strengthen the original Black Walnut combo.

This should prove beneficial but if you still suspect infestation & infection you should try the best herbal combo called "Humaworm" which is awarded many successful testimonials.

Let us know of your progress.

S: Since nutrient absorption requires a healthy gut, do finish the cleanse first. Depending on the severity of infection, you may need to rotate the herbal pancreas and herbal intestine formulas. You can rotate these on a daily basis. When things appear normal again, supplement a good Probiotic to maintain healthy bacteria which translates in good health all round.

Aloe Vera and Papaya Juices

Posted by Rebeccah (New York, New York, Usa) on 10/24/2012

Lisa thank you for your post about Aloe vera and papaya juice and helping so many people in pain. I had an Ercp which triggered a severe pancretitis (3monts in hospital) and since then I have pain everytime I eat and actually the pain lingers all day and night.

I am anxious to start the papaya but I can see several options are offered and not the exact one. It is difficult to find organic papaya 100% juice, for ex. Lakewood has it mix with apple.

Did you juice it yourself ? Can you use the powder and make the juice ? Where did you get the Aloe Vera , the only one I found was with sugar at Wholefood.

Thank you so much for caring about helping others. We who are in pain really appreciate it. RebeccaH

I have been admitted to the hospital twice in 6 months for acute pancreatitis and the only thing that made the pain go away was dilaudid. Well, I'm currently suffering from my third pancreatic attack and I refuse to be admitted to the hospital again because I know that's what'll happen. I'm a single mom with 2 school children and it just isn't gonna work. From what I was told by the doctors, in order for your pancreas to heal you have to basically not eat or drink anything because the pancreas needs to rest. This is why when you eat or drink, the symptoms get worse. The fact that I'm not all doped up on drugs in the hospital, I'm freakin' starving and having hunger pains. I'm gonna try this today with the papaya and aloe vera. I really do hope this works because I cannot go another day like this. I have a tooth extraction tomorrow too and I'd really hate to go through mouth and tummy pain at the same time. Thanks for this and I will definitely be trying it.

Colloidal silver helped my pancreatitis and cancer greatly along with taheebo tea, bee propolis and an alkaline diet 90% raw food with wheatgrass, barleygrass, and green juices. Juices and raw foods build your immune system and fights off every disease. But when I want something tasty I use silver colloid. We bought a silver edge silver maker.

I have a 5 month old that has been placed on creon pills for the past 3 months now due to him having problems with his pancreas... The only thing that's getting me worried is the creon pills aren't helping. Before he started taking the pills, his pancreas level was close to 100. Now since he's been taking these pills his pancreas level has dropped down to 40. That's his pancreas getting worse... I have been looking into trying this remedy with papaya and aloe vera to see if it works.. Can you tell me what type of aloe vera and papaya you use... Thanks

Please try the fruit diet. You have fruits every meal. No cooked food. Occasional piece of cooked food is ok. Have papaya every meal since it has digestive enzymes. This will reduce inflammation and drink lots of water for detox.

Posted by Sri (Singapore) on 06/16/2013

1.5 liters water may be a BIT TOO MUCH for some people. So please try 500 ml at a time. It might help with pain by cooling down the digestive system and diluting the acid. Acid in deodenum causes the pancreas to release bicarbonate. Please try adding bicarbonate to your diet.

Will_ashbless: Do the buffer mix first, then proceed to Papaya and Aloe Vera (which would go well together). Digestive enzymes (and all enzymes for that matter) cannot survive the acid environment. I have found Magnet Therapy very effective and immediate for Pancreatitis (which I get regularly). One 1hr treatment works for me. I have also had good results w/ the herbal P-14 formula.

Hi Linda, firstly thank you so much for your post! 2 years ago I was a dedicated vegan for about 9 months and similar to yourself ingested a huge amount of fruits and sugars to stay satisfied. During this period I started to feel quiet unwell so stopped and tried to wean myself back on to animal products but as I realise now the damage was already done. I've now been in immense pain for over 12 months had many tests done (endoscopy, colonoscopy, ultrasound) with no resulting answers. I've had a hunch that it may have to do with my pancreas for a while but all said that you only get from drinking a lot of alcohol when I've hardly ever drank much at all. Though as soon as I read your post I knew that it was from my fruit eating and excess sugar consumption. Thank you very much.

Also quick question may I ask you why you use flaxseed oil over olive? Is it less irritating?

I'm glad I went on this site so I can get better educated what is Acute Pancreatis and why was this happening to me. I was diagnosed with Acute Pancreatitis I had my first episodes last week it felt like I was passing stones, but all that was taken out ten years ago. They took all kinds of test the conclusion was that all natural herbs that I was taking is what might of been the cause not 100% because I don't drink or smoke but I do take alot of nature herb teas that what they think was the cause. I always been more or less a healthy person I take my herbalife shakes, protein and tea, it's when I added more natural tea's is when I started getting sick. If any one has a meal plan that I can follow please forward to me please.

HI - both my children (age 9 and 12) have had repeated attacks of pancreatitis. The 9 year old has pancreatic divisum but not the 12 year old and they are both positive for spink1 mutation. They are on low fat diets, take creon and exercise very regularly. We are waiting to be referred for surgical intervention. Does anybody know if there are any forums available to parents with children with pancreatitis? It's a very isolating place to be and would be weirdly comforting to talk to somebody else who is going through this. My husband and I keep this much to ourselves, we don't want to frighten the kids although frankly it terrifies us both. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tim, I just had a blood test done and it found high amounts of amylase and lipase from pancreas and salivary glands and low white blood cell count. About a month ago I did a carrot juice fast for 9 days and then slowly introduced broth, and roasted vegetables, etc. back into my diet and am not sure it that is the cause of my troubles or something else. I also use to drool at night and noticed that I have been having a dry mouth and sometimes dry eyes during the day. I am unclear as to what to do to correct this.

Should I fast to give my pancreas a chance to heal or eat a low cholesterol diet to start? Do I take the 1/2 tsp baking soda in 8 oz water 2-3x/day 30 min after a meal, along with the alkalizing remedy (black walnut, clove, wormwood with oregano, chaparral, and myrrh, with zinc and niacin supplements to detox alcohol, and the 1/2 cup of both aloe and papaya juice 2x/day (does it have to be fresh food juiced or can I buy the juices?), and take 1/4 tsp borax in a liter of water for a week? Will I need to cleanse the liver and kidney after that's done or along side that? I started with taking 1/2 lemon juiced, 1 tbsp ACV, 1 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp tumeric powder, pinch cinnamon, pinch chilli pepper powder, pinch rosemary powder in a glass of warm water after waking up, and the 1 oz of lemon juice and olive oil 2x/day on an empty stomach (but it hasn't produced any stones) and have been adding 1/3 tsp burdock root powder, 1/3 tsp turkey rhubarb root, 1/3 astragulus root powder, 1 tsp honey, along with the heated liquid from 1 tsp ground milk thistle that was boiled and simmered for 20 min in a warm glass of water before going to bed.

I truly value your expertise and appreciate any help you can offer.

My son has chronic pancreatitis, he is 19 and it took over 11 years to get an accurate diagnosis. We were unable to find any real info on UK sites for children with pancreatitis and yes it is very frightening to be told your child has this especially when you read up on this disease. We have found a low fat diet is essential, when a flare up happens my son now avoids any food to allow the pancreas to rest. On occasions he has been hospitalised in order for him to be hydrated and he has had a lot of surgery. You have to educate yourself, your GP is unlikely to know much about the condition. There is far more info and support in the US for children with this condition so check out their sites and info. I am so sorry you are have two children with this but do the research and don't be scared to question the advice of the hospital or consultants. Also find out the most experienced consultant you can, under the NHS you have a right to choose and book ie you can request to be seen by any dr anywhere in the UK so find the best and don't just accept the local hospital unless they really are a specialist unit.

I will top off the glass with high PH water to reach the 8 oz mark.
