Hello All,
So I have been dealin with problems for about 10 years now. My pain which is upper mid to side and wraps around back and shoulders. When it's really bad it travels down abdomen until everything is hard and hurting. O.k sory to bore you with symptoms, but my question is this. What types of tests are available for checking pancreas, besides enzmes? I was found after an MRI to have pancreas divisum (PD). Which the GI told me can cause chronic pancreatitis. But my enzymes are always normal or only slightly off, ext.. I have been reading on PD and I have come across lots of info on PD causing all kinds of pain and problems, ones which are exactly like my own. Or people having pancreastitis with normal enzymes. But GI dr is convinced I have IBS, as almost all tests have ruled crohn's out and he says my pancreas is medically functioning... O.k well if i have curled over in pain, thats not functioning very well. I know this is an IBD forum, but does anyone, as you all have been through hell and high water to get diagnoised, have an idea about other tests to check how pancreas is funtioning? Thank you eveyone for reading...
