Not sure why the vomiting started 4 days ago, along with severe nausea; I thought I got really carsick that day and then I thought I got a stomach virus or ate something bad. So when I stopped vomiting and nausea, I returned to regular diet and had horrible stomach pains, that is why I fasted the 2 days, afraid I had pancreatititis symptoms, like I had before, but the other times I didn't feel better at all once it got started until I was in the hospital.
I drink wine at home with my husband in the evenings with dinner pretty regularly; not every day but occasionally.
The second time after 2008 that I was hospitalized for pancreatitis was in 2012, it was a much milder case and I only stayed 10 days, no ICU or organs starting to shut down, just got IVs and I felt better real quick.
The last follow up check was about three month ago, but no labwork was performed.
My current diet/job/life is healthy but busy and stressful so a lot of fast food or going out to eat. I work for my husband's business as a bookkeeper and I'm always behind, I have 2 teenage boys, oldest one is blind, always worry about that. But we are all healthy, don't smoke at all, and try to get a lot of exercise and walk 2 miles at night.
My main concern is just to avoid pancreatitis and it is still hurting and I don't know if I should go to the emergency room because I think they would admit me for quite a while but on the other hand I don't want to make things worse on my other organs or my whole self by not going in time if I have to. I will try your recommended diet in the meantime. Thank you so much for your advice and expertise.
