hi all, im worried sick as my Daughter 16 was rushed to AandE in horrific pain and diagnosed with Pancreatitis after blood tests and MRI.Doctors are at a loss as to why as no Gallstones seen on scan and she never drinks alcohol.Shes now pain free after 5 days in hospital but im so worried itll strike again anytime and i cant find any info online,doctors said it is rare for a fit and well young girl but that hasnt helped with my fears.Thanks for reading and please excuse spelling.Im typing on rubbish phone x
hello there is a chance your daughter may have a hereditary form of pancreatitis. i am a 22 year old female with hereditary chronic pancreatitis despite the fact that my parents do not have this and i dont know anyone in the family with it. it is caused by a genetic mutation. for me it started with an acute episode but has reoccurred several times a year for about 12 years now. i hope this is not the case for you but i would recommend she not even touch alcohol lol ive been warned to never drink since i was 14
