question: Hello Doctor, I developed pancreatic disease. I have been worsening the condition by taking the triggers (heavy food and alcohol). Last April and July I could manage with a strict diet to bring the inflammation and enzyme levels down. I am maintaining a low fat diet and I have reduced the amount of alcohol I consume. Then I was doing fine. Two weeks ago, I had a heavy meal and too much alcohol and got an acute attack. I was hospitalized and now I feel better as I strictly follow the diet.  The MRI scan which I took last week (1st August) shows an improvement than the CT scan taken in the month of July. I am taking the following as maintenance medications: Metoprolol 50mg twice a day and Irbesartan 150 mg once a day for hypertension. Escitalopram 10mg once 1 day for anxiety. Pantoprazole 40mg twice a day for my acidity issue. Pancreatin 650mg 3 times a day with meals. I have the following questions: Is there really no medicine to help the pancreas for complete healing or will I have this issue for my entire life? Are there any supplements like vitamins, minerals etc., apart from healthy living that would protect my pancreas? Do I have chronic pancreatitis?
