Does anybody suffer from Chronic Pancreatitis and Crohn's Disease?

Your crohns disease could potentially be the the cause of your recurrent episodes of pancreatitis. 

Thanks Carrie! I may start a treatment for my Crohn's in a month or in a month and a half, we have to do some tests before. So, we will see how it goes and what happens with my pancreatitis... Some doctors think that  my pancreatitis are directly related to my Crohn's and others think the opposite. I do not know anybody in the same situation as me... this is why I am a little bit worried.

Thanks again!

Elisa,

How are you today?

I have read your story and wanted to know hos does it go a year later?

Doctors told me some 30 years agos that I had HFE hereditary haemochromatosis wich resulted in chronic pancreatitis, together with coeliac disease. I have lived years with 'complicated' meals such as glutenfree, expensive 'astronautic' food, etc. Now I eat 'regulair' healthy food and sometimes still have pain, but this is alright because I have an implanted morphinepump. I think that a pancreatitis and Chrohn's are two different diseases, but could be related too. I think it depends on the region where the Chrohn disease is situated. Logical I would say that Chrohn's disease is the cause of pancreatitis, but I am not a doctor.

What about your treatment and the tests?
