Can 5 Weeks Of Acute Pancreatitis Cause Largely Fatty Pancreas With Zenpep Causing Burning Facial Skin & Hives On The Back?

I want to know if a largely fatty pancreas can result from a 5 week long episode of acute pancreatitis. Also, I have been put on Zenpep and the skin on my face burns increasingly severly for 3 hours after eating and taking it and hives appear on my back. I had one 5 week episode where I had symptoms of pancreatitis and stool tests taken during that time show approx 10% food absorption but I have had no symptoms in the month since then and never before that episode, have not lost any weight and felt good after until I started taking Zenpap and now I havethe symptoms above began.

Hi,

Thanks for writing to HCM.

Yes pancreatitis can cause fatty pancreas.

And better discontinue Zenpap if its causing adverse reactions... and ask your doctor to start you on a different pancreatic enzymes of a different brand.

You will take time to recover.
