Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, it can be recurrence of pancreatitis as chronic diseases or any other infection of biliary tract which can also cause pancreatitis. E. coli is a bacteria which causes such infections and present with gastric symptoms like you shared.
Blood cultures as well as baseline blood work up needs to be repeated. Other systemic infection like enteric, etc. should also be ruled out. Meanwhile OTC analgesics like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can be used.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin
