Orkut toh sabko yaad hoga hopefully, par Borkut khaane waale kaun kaun hain yahaan? 😁

Do din/boond 😁 baarish hui nahi ke insta feed is flooded with 'best places to visit in monsoon', 'long drives in rains', 'romantic getaways' and so on...

Every rainy season in Mumbai, it becomes Tumbai....is it administration or the geographical landscape?

Is it just me or cooking at home feels relaxing. 😊

Once in a while outside food is also nice for a change...

Lengthy post alert.

Your doctor is the right person for your diagnosis.

Below is just my experience, not a recommendation for others.

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd share my journey in case it helps someone who's newly diagnosed or struggling with pancreatitis. I'm a 40-year-old male from India (born in 1986). My first episode was in 2009. It started with excruciating upper abdominal pain. I was admitted to the hospital, and my serum amylase had shot up to around 1300. I was kept NBM (nothing by mouth) for about four days before I gradually started feeling better.

At that time, I weighed only 54 kg (I'm 6'2"), was living in a hostel in South India, and surviving mostly on hostel food. I had absolutely no idea what the pancreas was or what pancreatitis meant. Initially, I was prescribed Panlipase/Creon because I would get stomach discomfort after almost every meal. Those months were mentally very difficult. Every time I ate, I'd worry because my stomach would hurt until the food was digested. The anxiety became almost as bad as the pain itself. Creon gave me bad constipation, so later stopped it.

About a year later, the episodes started recurring. I consulted another gastroenterologist, who suggested placing a pancreatic stent. I underwent the procedure, hoping it would solve the problem, but unfortunately the pain persisted, so the stent was eventually removed.

After that, I was prescribed Panlipase 25,000 along with Ultracet for pain management. Ultracet was simply too strong for me, so I had to stop taking it. Once things settled down, I reduced my pancreatic enzyme dose to Panlipase 10,000.

Around 2014, I started reading everything I could find about pancreatitis—medical articles, blogs, and patient experiences. One patient blog mentioned that ibuprofen helped with mild flare-ups. I discussed pain management with my doctor, and over time I found that when I feel the familiar mild pain starting, taking a Combiflam (ibuprofen-based pain relief available here) early often prevents it from becoming a bigger episode. (Obviously, everyone's situation is different, so please don't take this as medical advice.)

Fast forward to today: I'm 63 kg. Pain recurrences are now very rare. I live a fairly normal life. Over the years, I've noticed certain foods seem to trigger discomfort for me, so I mostly avoid: Chocolates, Ghee,Sweets and mithai,Coffee,Milk (not completely sure, but I suspect it's a trigger)

Foods I tolerate well include: Paneer,Meat,Vegetables,Wheat,Jowar,Rice.

One thing I've learned is that pancreatitis can be a long journey. There were years when I thought I'd never feel normal again, but things gradually improved. It took patience, learning my triggers, and finding what worked for my body. If you're newly diagnosed, don't lose hope. Recovery isn't always linear, and everyone's pancreas behaves differently, but life can absolutely get better. Has anyone else found that their trigger foods changed over the years? I'd love to hear your experiences.
