Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea When Diagnosed With Pancreatitis
I am recovering from pancreatitis..2yrs in June...getting much better at digesting food and much less diarrhea but when I do have a bowel movement it has mucus and smells like perm solution? Is this normal for my pancreas problems or could it be something else? I feel like I m pestering the doctor over and over and they fob me off!

Hello,
Pancreatic enzyme deficiency can cause loose stools.
As first-line management, you can take antimotility drugs like racecadotril and pancreatic enzymes like panzynorm for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
