What are some general things we know about pancreatitis?
Basically, pancreatitis sufferers fall under three main categories. The first group is comprised of people who develop pancreatitis due to heavy alcohol use. Others develop pancreatitis due to gallstones, and the third group is affected by the condition as a result of gallbladder disease. Regardless of the cause of pancreatitis, doctors will often tell you that it is a lifelong condition with which you will have to treat with a strict diet and strong painkillers.

Auto-Digestion
A natural diversion of the enzymes in the pancreas results in pancreatitis. With pancreatitis, the normal production of enzymes for digestion of food is disrupted. Also disrupted is the production of hormones necessary to maintain a normal level of sugar in the blood. With pancreatitis, what is thought to happen is that enzymes normally secreted by the pancreas in an inactive form, become activated in the pancreas and start to digest pancreatic tissue. This process, which is known as auto-digestion, causes swelling, haemorrhage, and damage to blood vessels.pancreatitistreatment of pancreatitisnatural treatment of pancreatitis
