My PCP has been treating me for GERD with no relief.  After an ultrasound and upper GI series, I have been diagnosed with a "fatty pancreas".  Has anyone had any experience with this and how is it treated?  I appreciate all the info I can get.  Thank you!

I too have been diagnosed with a "fatty pancreas" after an ultrasound and upper GI.  My GP is sending me for a ct scan to check it out.  I have never heard of this before.  What symptoms are you having and have you any results back from your ct scan?

My primary care physician sent me for an upper GI and ultrasound after complaining of a burning pain in my upper abdomen.  The ultrasound suggested a fatty pancreas, and I was referred to a gastroenterologist.  He didn't seem very concerned about it when I mentioned it.  He scheduled me for an endoscopy which came back as GERD/Barrett's and hiatal hernia.  I'm on 30mg Prevacid a day and don't really have the burning pain anymore.  Although I do sometimes get a phantom gall bladder pain after eating something fatty.  I had my gallbladder removed in 1997.

Hi from Oz! gee, I'm a bit late with a response! I have been diagnosed with Advanced Fatty pancreas Disease, and was told that it can be reversed. I was prescribed a supplement which is the enzyme Lipase from pig pancreas, but, unfortunately, it made me feel very nauseous. My doctor told me that regular exercise, eating correct foods (not fatty etc) and , if needed, losing weight, would be very helpful. My main problem now, is bloating......most of the time I'm ok, but if I eat junk food etc, I have a bloating episode that can last for days. Apart from charchoal tablets, does anyone have any thoughts about this? Thanks, and good health to everyone, Cheers, Wendy.
