Chronic Pancreatitis And Chronic Cholecystitis

Recommended Posts

Hello

Please to do not fear providing me a technical reply. I'd prefer it actually :)

I'm 25 year old male with celiac disease. After months of religious diet work,

I feel about 90% better. I am still quite tired some days and bloated, however that is about it.

My recent x-rays show me more detail and I'm also afflicted with what I'm told is chronic pancreatitis and chronic cholecystitis.

I would like to know the prevalence of both in regards to manifestation of celiac.

Specifically in regards to someone with a genetic predisposition to diabetes, gallbladder issues, and celiac in particular.

Further more I am finding much relief in herbal remedies that are specifically for these ailments.

They work well however the problem resumes in full force if I stop taking them.

I think I am just looking to see how commonplace this associated set of problems is with celiac.

Maybe someone has encounter a similar situation and seen it remedy itself in time. Would be nice to know.

I thank you all for your time in reading my medical outline here.

This is not a technical reply, but I've been searching for answers for the past few weeks and I stumbled onto Ron Hoggan's "Gallbladder Disease and Celiac Disease" here at Celiac.com. Very enlightening. My mother, sister and brother have all had gallbladder disease and an older sister is a celiac and has been gluten-free since infancy. Most of us, her siblings are finally beginning to understand the reason for our symptoms. Please read this article if you haven't already.

I had not and will do so, thank you.

Okay well the article you referenced @ https://www.celiac.com/articles/119/1/Gall-...ggan/Page1.html

It is very good and does confirm my thoughts.

Particularly:

Active celiac disease would be likely, then, to cause a reduction or a cessation of duodenal production of CCK.

makes me really eager to know when if ever cck production will return to normal.

It seems to me that this is the issue I have in full. I'd like the damn thing to stay

inside me where it belongs and to continue intake/outake as it should normally.

Anyone know when CCK (cholecystokinin) the hormone responsible for gall bladder contraction,

returns to doing it's damn job? :)

Thank you.

Hey there,

I'm curious about your pancreatitis diagnosis and herbal supplements. I was also diagnosed, by chance, with two tiny pancreatic cysts. I believe it's a by-product of the undiagnosed celiac disease leading to excessive stress on my digestive organs, and consequently a pool of toxic storage via the cysts, but of course, there is no way of ever truly knowing.

Having read extensively about pancreatic cysts, I understand they can be a precursor for pancreatitis. What I'm wondering is how you were diagnosed with pancreatitis via xray. I was under the impression it is through the undeniable excruciating pain. Were you experiencing that and combined with the xray the diagnosis was reached? I ask because if there is too much fat in my diet, I can sometimes feel a "bruising" pain where my pancreas is located, but it's certainly not excruciating...

Also, as for the herbs you are taking. I was also taking a random combination, but I question their strength and pertinence at times. How do you know yours really work and if it's possible to quickly delineate, what are you taking?

More questions than technical answers I suppose...

Hi, yes it was actually ultrasound not x-ray , sorry with the confusion.

In regards to the pancreatitis firstly. I was told that this was something very minor on my end.

Namely that the issue was such a problem with the gallbladder that it might have radiated to the pancreas as well.

My symptoms in terms of it are a dull ache that I must say is minor. I would not be shocked to discover these are

cysts though as the tax on the digestive organs is pretty severe it seems.

My pain with regards to the two organs is never severe but it is dull and in your face quickly.

I am mostly interested in seeing these digestive organs return to normal function which I would expect is the outcome.

As far as what I am taking to deal with the gallbladder in particular.

1. Allochol

- Allochol works as a bile-expelling agent decreases the processes of putrefaction and fermentation in the processes of putrefaction and fermentation in the intestines. It improves the secretion functions of the liver cells, and the motor activity of the digestive tract organs. Use in cases of chronic reactive hepatitis, inflammation of the bile duct, gallbladder, indigestion in the bile tracts, and constipation.

2. Hepatophytum

Pharmacodynamics. GEPATOFIT has a hepatoprotective action, improves the antitoxic function of the liver, increases bile secretion, has holespazmoliticheskim action (reducing the tone of the gallbladder and bile ducts) increases the concentration of bile acids and reduces the concentration of cholesterol, thereby changing the cholate-cholesterol ratio. Has a moderate hypoglycemic effect. contains the flowers of immortelle 12 grams of sand, grass Galegov 10 g drug, pot marigold flower 11 g, 10 g of nettle leaves, dandelion roots 12 g, thistle fruit 10 g, stacks of corn with stigmas 11 g, sashes 12 grams of beans, 12 grams of hips;

---

Unfortunetly because of where I am located the above options will certainly be unavailable at worse, quite differently named at best.

Hopefully it is still of some use because as of 2 days with them I am feeling a great sense of betterment.

oh and I wouldn't call those 2 herbal remedies random either :)

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.
    • growlinhard1
      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.
