The Health Guy

Hi Gary – I am sorry to hear you have been ill. Especially that you’ve suffered for so long without knowing why. Hopefully this GI will get you diagnosed and squared away so that you are not ill all the time. If I […]

Hi D are you in Canada? I ask because I have heard this same comment question in the last 30 days and it was from someone in Canada. I would think anyone with acute pancreatitis would know not to take enzymes […]

Randi – you’ll find that MOST doctors are in the dark when it comes to the pancreas and pancreatitis. They get maybe a 1hr lecture maybe 2 and think they are experts. In 7 ER visits NOT ONE doctor recognized what […]

Hi Teresa – I am sorry to hear you are suffering. Did you want help or simply to tell your story?

Hi Randi – The answer to your first question is it can be either of the four. IF the pancreas is really inflamed and some eats (especially something high fat) the pain can be almost immediate (within minutes). […]

Hi Randi don’t lose faith – sometimes it takes time for them to find what is wrong simply because there are so many conditions with similar symptoms and in this day and age doctors are more like auto technicians […]

Randi there is obviously something going on but it isn’t necessarily a pancreas problem and they did tests that would normally show a pancreas involvement. I would be more inclined to look for scar tissue issue […]

Hi Anonymous – I had a great Christmas and New Year so far thank you! I hope you’ll have a better year this year.
1) Jaundice usually happens with a blockage such as a gallstone. It also happens with autoimmune […]

Hi Wade glad you are feeling better! And I can ALWAYS use more prayer! Thank you!

Hi Wade – I tried it for sometime. Finally had to quit. Sad day cuz I love venison. BUT you may get by with it. Wild game does have less fat. Maybe I just ate too much at a time. Be cautious.

Hi Wade thanks for the link. Good info. Yes, compounds such as flavonoids and sulforaphane are very beneficial.

Hi Sean – cool! Thanks for the article info. It could definitely be helpful to folks with calcification.

Hi DJ – so no diagnosis. What do they think or what is next? Wait and see?

Hi Louise – I am sorry you are so ill and I apologize that I am responding so slowly. I can’t tell you what to do. I can tell you what I might do and I say might because I do NOT have all of your issues to contend […]

Hi Billie Jo Massie – I am sorry to hear you are so ill. I think your question would be more suited towards your doctor. You should call him/her and ask or if you have an online access email him/her and ask. […]

Hi Anonymous – the holidays have been fine so far thank you 🙂 Yeah grape seed extract is non-toxic yet some folks do get side effects such as gastrointestinal issues but if you go up slowly you should be fine. […]

You’re welcome Arnaud – wish i could be more help. Hang in there 🙂

Hi Arnaud – I am sorry you feel unwell and have not been able to find out why. Sometimes it really is difficult for doctors because so many illnesses/conditions/diseases have the same or very similar symptoms. […]

Hi DJ – I always suspect doctors who tell me things like: 1) No way you have pancreatitis 2) according to your tests it is impossible that your pancreas is the problem 3) yada yada yada because I have found that […]

Hi Micah – I am sure you are an astute individual – your answer proves that you are astute to at least someone in this world but not to me. You obviously have never had pancreatitis if so you are undoubtedly still […]
