Does Psyllium Cause Upper Abdominal Pain After Eating?

upper abdominal pain after eating, feeling bloated, some nausea not sever pain just over all comfortableness . Have had acute pancreatitis, recent blood work shows only white count slightly elevated, liver function, amylase and lipase all within normal range abdominal ultrasound shows no concerns and no indication of pancreatitis. Insulin diabetic, endocrinologists believes i suffer from chronic pancreatitis. I take multivitamin, B12, rabeprazole sodium once a day and pancrease once a day as well as psyllium capsules in the morning and at evening meal. Can the psyllium be the cause or could it be symptomatic of the chronic pancreatitis?

Hi,

Yes, Psyllium capsules may cause abdominal pain and bloating in few patients. Acute gastritis, pancreatitis also present like this. Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week.

It is better to use other alternatives for abdominal bloating. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
