Hello, my daughter was diagnosed with IBD, she was on meds called Pantasa which is a 5-ASA med to keep her in remission from the IBD which we think is Ulcerative Colitas. Her bi-weekly blood test are showing her Lipase levels going up and latest shows it up over 3000. She has had a CT scan and MRE which shows all normal including her pancreas as we assumed it might be acute pancreatitis. She was also taken off her meds as the meds do have a rare side effect of causing high lipase levels and acute pancreatitis. Well, being off the meds now for almost a month and her lipase levels have still gone up. She was also tested for celiac during her scopes which came back negative. Does anyone have any idea what can be causing these lipase levels to go up.? It seems they started to go up after starting the meds, but being off them and still going up is weird. Also can gluten sensitivity cause high lipase levels? We are thinking about putting her on a gluten free diet to see if that helps with the levels. Ive read that celiac can cause high lipase but can non-celiac/gluten sensitivity cause it? Thanks for any help.
Gluten sensitivity such as celiac can cause high lipase
