Hello,I have been having severe pains in my abdomen, where my pancreas would be located. I have been in recovery from alcoholism for over 15 years, but when I was active I was hospitalized with acute pancreatitis 4 times. I compromised my pancreas to such a degree that I am now a Type II diabetic ( Insulin dependent). I have most of the symptoms for pancreatitis: severe abdominal pain, lower back pain, pain more severe at night and after meals, at onset of the pain I had diarrhea. The only thing that was absent from this ongoing episode has been nausea and vomiting. Can it be pancreatitis w/o nausea & vomiting?
