Thank you Mary brilliant for myself a chronic pancreatitis patient just put on pert a skinny 62 year old lady with a stone in my main pancreatic duct,now waiting for some insulin treatment for diabetes.❤❤❤
Thanks so much for uploading/making this! I got out of hospital today, diagnosed with acute pancreatitis a couple months back and now its chronic with some necrosis. This has helped me feel reassured and your website is amazing, so much great information! I learned way more in this video than over 2 weeks in hospital, really appreciate it. I'm going to try to come back to this video once a year to comment :)
My EPI fecal lactase score is 148. I have lost close to 40 pounds over a 2 year period. Bloating, gas oily stools have calmed down. I tried the pert using CREON and ZENPEP. TERRIBLE side effects headaches from hell, gut pain plus increased my tinnitus so f….. bad, ringing in my left ear. I stopped taking the pig enzymes PERT. I pray to God I have an appointment in January 2023 at Johns Hopkins hospital with a highly renown Pancreas doctor. I do not drink or smoke. I take fat soluble vitamins with my small low fat meals every day. I can not take PERT !
@@Sorted906CREON sucks, gave me headaches stomach pain. I switched to ZENPEP. NO MORE HEADACHES. Just slight stomach pain. I have moderate EPI. GOOD LUCK !😊
I had developed severe Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency post Covid. I have pain in the L and R upper quadrant. Pls advise which tests I need to diagnose chronic pancreatitis? Thanks 🙏
We are sorry to hear of your symptoms and the diagnosis of EPI. Please visit our webpage where causes and symptoms of CP have been detailed, linked here: mission-cure.org/chronic-pancreatitis/ You can also have a look at our diagnosis webinar and toolkit to help you navigate your conversation with your doctor linked below: Toolkit: mission-cure.org/pancreatitis-diagnosis-toolkit/ Diagnosis webinar: mission-cure.org/pancreatitis-diagnosis/
22:32 has it occured to anyone that possibly because people are following low fat diets that its creating this problem? I thought we were supposed to eat fatty fish and butter on a regular basis? Olive oil and lamb? Isn't that what the Mediterranean diet is? If our gallbladder isn't being used often enough, it seems like it gets clogged, lazy and malfunctions.
Thanks for your input. Pancreatitis has various causes, including gallstones. As our expert highlights, there's no one-size-fits-all diet recommendation for all pancreatitis patients. Clinical research evidence suggests a positive relationship between fat content and exacerbation of symptoms in some patients. We always recommend patients work with their doctors and dietitians to find protocols that suit their specific needs, which are multifactorial. You can explore our nutrition webpage for more information on the topic:mission-cure.org/managing-pancreatitis/nutrition-for-chronic-pancreatitis/
As the keto diet is high in fat, it may not be the best while managing chronic pancreatitis. Additionally, some case reports have documented episodes of acute pancreatitis in those following the keto diet. We'd suggest talking to your doctor first to see what's best for your specific situation.
Can e.p.i cause dry skin like eczema i have floating oily stools and do local gp test for epi pluss ive realised enzymes over the counter are not strong enough which ones would u recommend?
Hi there! Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) can cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which may affect your skin and hair, sometimes resulting in conditions like dry skin or eczema. Floating, oily stools are a common symptom of EPI. For testing, it’s best to consult with a specialist rather than relying solely on a general practitioner (GP). They can perform specific tests for EPI, such as a fecal elastase test. Over-the-counter enzymes are often not strong enough. We recommend looking into FDA-approved PERT brands, which you can find on our website: EPI Webpage: mission-cure.org/complications-of-chronic-pancreatitis/exocrine-pancreatic-insufficiency/ PERT Webpage: mission-cure.org/managing-pancreatitis/pancreatic-enzyme-replacement-therapy/ For more detailed information, check out our EPI playlist and our vitamin and mineral deficiency videos: EPI Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLJXha4Nvx8NJRu03C4kOj3CyoqjvB_Q6u.html&feature=shared Nutrition & Vitamin and Mineral Deficiency Videos: th-cam.com/play/PLJXha4Nvx8NIxUzyrWc8ec0plt44vpMo4.html&feature=shared
Enzyme treatment, or PERT (pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy), helps your body digest food when your pancreas isn’t producing enough enzymes. You can learn more about enzymes in our EPI playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLJXha4Nvx8NJRu03C4kOj3CyoqjvB_Q6u.html&feature=shared Or on our PERT page: mission-cure.org/managing-pancreatitis/pancreatic-enzyme-replacement-therapy/ Hope this helps! 💙
I dont drink or smoke . I have no sugar in my blood . All of a sudden my labs were 132 than went down to 52 . I had no pain but did get ozone shots for my hip problems. What can i do
Hi Hilda, thank you for reaching out. We encourage you to talk to your doctor about your specific situation, or contact us at mission-cure.org/contact-us/ where we may be able to better help you.
Good question! There are six FDA-approved pancreatic enzymes: Creon, Pancreaze, Zenpep, Ultresa, Viokace, and Pertzye. We recommended speaking with your doctor about what's right for you!
Please see our resources about how to take enzymes on the Mission: Cure web page: mission-cure.org/about-pancreatitis/exocrine-pancreatic-insufficiency/
How do I know how much enzyme to take? I aim for about 10 grams of fat per meal, and for that, I take 2-36,000 u Creon capsules. I can eat more fat once in a while, and use 36,000 u per 5 fat grams. Yay, pizza and nachos! But be careful. Restaurants disguise the fat where you least expect it. Though it took some effort to find out, Chicken Salad Chick’s lowest fat chicken salad contains 36 grams of fat! Impossible.
Adjusting enzymes based on fat intake can be tricky, and it’s always a good idea to check nutritional labels. For more information, check out our page on PERT dosing guidelines: mission-cure.org/managing-pancreatitis/pancreatic-enzyme-replacement-therapy/ and our EPI webinar playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLJXha4Nvx8NJRu03C4kOj3CyoqjvB_Q6u.html&feature=shared Hope this helps! 💙

Very useful.

Hi Cliff! We have some low-fat food swap recommendations on our website, if you'd like to check it out: mission-cure.org/nutrition/
Enzymes are working like a key. How many foods locks can be opened possibly by one key? How much enzymes I need in numbers or amounts?

Some people with pancreatitis don’t have a gallbladder.
Any data on ketogenic diet and how it can help this condition?
As the keto diet is high in fat, it may not be the best while managing chronic pancreatitis. Additionally, some case reports have documented episodes of acute pancreatitis in those following the keto diet. We'd suggest talking to your doctor first to see what's best for your specific situation.
From my experience, a keto diet is what caused me to get this in the first place.
