Default What could it be

I just don't know. I can only tell you what I experienced. A year and a half prior to this I had acute pancreatitis. Admitted to hosp. I had follow up EUD. Showed some irritation but nothing else. My diarrhea never totally went away. Also had the rt side back pain. After all the tests the stool specimen indicated pancreatitic insuffiency. The Creon worked immediately, while I was still on Mestinon. Diarrhea stopped. I have found studies on line that indicate mestinon has caused pancreatitis in elderly pt. ( 60 and older). Apparently it acts or the physiological changes in the elderly cause a potentially unusual reaction.
I will be seeing a pancreatic GI specialist at end of July.
