If anyone has ever had elevated Lipase please reply and what did they say, I have had it off and on for years they say celiac disease can cause it, but the thought of Pancreatic Cancer scares me consantly.

Have you ever been tested for elevated Lipase, I have that issue sometimes and everytime now (have it now Actually) I get checked and its my lipase, which is from the pancreas or leaking in the gut, it causes nausea, distension, tired also and gas.

I think I was the origial person who inquired about this months ago, I was told I was having Pancreatis, However after months of being sick and having the same ranges as you with elevated lipse, once I found out I had Celiac Disease, and starte watching my diet, things went to normal. From my understanding Lipase is produced in a fw places and us with...

Thanks for the reply, It is all still confusing and I think I am handleing all of this pretty good. However I am going to the University to see what they think. My Current Doctor after sending him these results blew me off, he is an internal medicine doctor and yet he said " Your problem is difficult enough that I suggest you call the University and talk...

i NEED SOME RE-ASSURANCE PLEASE. I started my trigger symptoms on Nov 21st and since then I have lost almost 12 pounds. However I have been Gluten Free since Dec 1st. Is it possible that the diet alone is causing the weight loss. It scares the Hell out of me when I was 179 pounds 3 months ago and now I am 162 (in the morning of course heavier at night) Being...

Well, Make long story short but its long, about 3 months ago I woke up after eating a pizza and having a few beers with Nausea, dry heaving sweats etc. Next day went in to Doc and had blood work done all my tets were good other than my lipase was slighty elevated. My doctor told me it was mild pancreatitis and to slow down on the drinking (like I was some...

ARCHIVED celiac disease Increasing? Whats The Deal
DVK replied to DVK's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
One thing that I was really concerned with until finding out about celiac disease was my pancreas, since my Doctor was so sure it was a mild case of Pancreatitis I was having, although I had no real pain and all my symptoms were in the GI tract and intestines and my Lipase was only elevated 150 points over normal which most people with pancreas problems have... -

DVK replied to DVK's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thats great to know the above link, cause i know my doctor and many others need to recognize it for sure. I agree also that something with the pestisides and Antibiotics and other bad stuff they are doing to our foods, grains etc is changing the metabolic make up of everything. Not good to change things that are natural! David -

I have felt 100% better for the past 7 days and better everyday since being on gluten-free diet. However as I have been trying to deal with the diet and looking into places I can eat, other than home,...
