Hi Bricklayer72,
During my active alcoholism (30 yrs) I often had bouts of pancreatitis. Toward the end it was one big bout of acute pancreatitis...I did alot of research on the pancreas and what I was doing to it....OUCH.....The liver can heal itself to a degree, but when the pancreas fails ....thats it!!!!!!
I have new appreciation for the old pancreas now.....Just my .02 worth..
Work Hard and Enjoy Life....Ned
