Last August I developed AP which I had accidentally prolonged the pancreatic damage for 3 months because I continued to drink coffee every day, which caused my condition to deteriorate month by month. I quit drinking coffee by november and my pancreas started to heal, I started to gain weight and look fairly healthy again.

I still cannot have anything acidic, such as tomatoes or citrus fruits. I unfortunately, still can't have coffee either which is the biggest bummer. I feel so much better and happier when I am able to drink coffee. Not even a full cup a day is all it takes for me. But caffeine makes this whole condition so much worse. I don't drink alcohol, and have not drank regularly in over 10 years.

I miss coffee so much. How long did it take for you guys on the long haul to be able to eat and drink foods that had initially triggered you? It's been 7 months of abstaining from coffee - i had a little bit recently for about a week, i decided to drink coffee and it led to my pancreas deteriorating again + rapid weight loss.

I feel like i'll never get to fully enjoy my life again :( It would help to hear some of your success stories. Thanks in advance.

I bought the reviv 3 and have been wearing it nightly. Once I fall asleep my mouth will not stay closed and I always wake up in the middle of the night with an extremely dry mouth and tongue, and usually the mouthguard becomes loose at that point. This morning When I spit it was brown. I've never had brown spit before... I want to keep using this thing but does it get better at any point?? How long do these take to get used to?
