Introduction

Hi all,

so glad I found this forum. I am a 63 years old female from Switzerland. After decades of intermittent digestive problems, I was diagnosed with Chronic Pancreatitis / EPI in 2018. I know that I am lucky, as I have no pain at all. I have accustomed quite well in my new life with certain restrictions: I do not go out for lunches / dinners because - despite taking enzymes - I never know what happens after the meals😀. For the same reason, I am reluctant to leave the house for longer periods of time. I have developed a certain anxiety which is certainly not helpful. Otherwise, I can cope quite well and have a fulfilling life, walking my dog 4 times a day, doing regular weight training and reading a lot.

Looking forward to exchange with you all and wishing you all the best.

Hello! I know what you are saying. I feel the same way about going out. I'm recently diagnosed with EPI. Thought I was having gallbladder attacks but it was pancreatic attacks. It's a new way of life. I can only see my G.I. every 2 months so I have so many questions. Just this morning after breakfast, after using the bathroom, I have a belly ache and feel lousy.
