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.
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.
