Why Am I Having The Same Symptoms Of Pancreatitis After Getting Treated For It About 14 Years Ago?

Posted on Thu, 2 Nov 2023

Question: I have been treated for acute pancreatitis about 14 years ago. I am on medication having NEKSIUM before breakfast and PANLIPASE after breakfast for many years continuously till date. I have suddenly developed the same symptoms of pain just above the stomach and uncomfortable. Tried taking OMEZ along with BUSCOPAN from yesterday. The pain is now on and off. Have been avoiding Oily foods, fatty foods and Spicy foods. Rice cake with a little sambar in the morning. Afternoon had a little rice with Sambar and fish (Boiled) felt better. Had a glass of tender coconut about 20 minutes ago and now the pain seems to have increased a bit. Is tender coconut water bad for Pancreatitis? Also let me know if I can have Bananas. I would also like you to suggest what foods to take for the next few days. Thank you.
