Suggest Treatment For Chronic Pancreatitis

My husband has chronic pancreatitis, and has been recently prescribed Celebrex for pain- upon picking this medication, he was informed by the pharmacy that this medication will upset his stomach- so I was wondering why he was prescribed this if it s going to make him feel worse than he already does?

Hi,

This may indicate chronic pancreatitis which is caused either by alcohol consummation or biliary stones. In most cases, it can be regulated by medications which include insulin supplements and enzymes for digestion Also alcohol is forbidden in these cases and you should eat less fatty food, less sugar and more vegetables and boiled food. Also, avoid cytotoxic medications. If there is no improvement then surgical therapy may be considered and include drainage procedures or pancreas resection. This is the last option and you should consult your doctor about this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
