....So, I posted a few days back about having some type of terrorist tummy bug that I just couldn't seem to kick........Well, that's because the tummy bug has been diagnosed as Acute Pancreatitis........Ended up in the Texas Emergency Care ER early this morning, and after spending basically all dang day in there, it seems as if my self diagnosis as "just a bug of some sort" was quite off.......******, Gina!....Anywho, I've got to return to my PCP tomorrow to have my blood drawn and tested once again, and in the meantime am off of ALL vitamins, supplements, and solid food.........Basically nada but H2O, unsweet tea and Gatorade for right now........Got scripts for Norco Pain Med, Pepcid to take prior to the pain med (to try and help prevent any further damage to my intestinal wall and lining) and Zofran for nausea.........The doc said that usually Acute Pancreatitis is related to peeps who consume alcohol, eat a high fatty diet, Gall Stones, or can be side effects of certain medications or supplements.........So, since I've never been a boozer, grub fairly healthy, had my Gall Bladder removed when I was just a young lad at the age of 15, I'm having to stop all of my usual vitamins........  My hubbb's thinkin' that this could possibly be genetic of some sort...  .....My papa passed of Pancreatic Cancer 9 years ago at the age of 58..........Good news is that the X-Rays and CT Scans did NOT show any type of tumor, just that my blood enzymes pertaining to the Pancreas was off the Richter...  ...On a positive note, we had our very own private room with cable TV, so we did NOT miss the Texans........And I can say that the facility, nurses and doc at Texas Emergency Care was nothing short of top notch.... 4951

@herron1345: You and I are on the same diet!  I have learned-take the zofran! I have an unlimited supply of that. If it doesn't help, take it from someone who knows-switch to Phenegran or Compazine(I have an unlimited supply). Those 2 will knock you on your butt though.I hope you feel better soon.  I know how painful it can be.  If you need anything, let me know

Oh Baby!  I hope you feel better soon!  STAY HYDRATED!!!  I can't emphasize that enough.  Gatorade is your friend and it will keep your electrolytes in check.  Don't try any regular food until those enzymes are down.  You will regret it if you do.  Have someone make you some real home-style chicken broth.  It really helps. 4951

@herron1345 Hope they get to the bottom of the issues and get you on the mend STAT! Glad you went to get checked out. I hate going to doctors period. I'm the worst. Only reason I went to the ER the other night was because the Nurse I spoke to scared the bejesus out of me. "Go to the ER NOW" she said. Feel better my friend. 4951

Fyi - Zofran comes in a melt under the tongue version if you can't keep down pills. It was given to my mom when she was passing gallstones and barfing up her toes. 4951
