Hi,

I am 30yo Male BMI 32

I have GERD, Sleep apnea, OCD, depression.

The last 2.5 years I have had elevated stress that caused me to binge eat and resort to binge drink.

2017-2019 I was in graduate school where I was experiencing constant epigastric pain after a episode of vommiting from drinking. This subsided after I left graduate school.

I had full workup ultrasound, endoscopies etc found nothing. Called it functional.

2019-2022 my drinking habits increased but I would still go long periods months without drinking then maybe binge socially. Then weeks where id drink every other day. I never felt like it was a ridiculously large amount of drinking. 

January 2022: My cholesterol normal but triglycerides are 481. Doctor prescribes me fish oil and low fat diet no drinking. Since December 2021 I have been having tons of urgent diarrhea type 7. All day every day. I go to GI doctor he does ultrasound sees fatty liver, pancreas obstructed by bowel gas, some portions normal. A ton of blood tests and stool sample. Liver is perfectly normal but my fecal pancreatic elastase is 101 and my fecal fat is increased. I immediately panic as I I think this means chronic pancreatitis. Says the 101 may be “false positive”

Doctor is not convinced its chronic pancreatitis as most have pain, weight loss, and even heavier drinkers. I don’t fit the “mold”. Says the fish oil may cause the fat and that my pancreas may just not secrete enough enzymes. Reassures me he thinks nothing serious. 

Now I have to get another fecal fat test and MRI or my pancreas. I am losing my fucking mind because I know hes full of shit my pancreas is destroyed imma be a insulin dependent type 1 diabetic. And my life expectancy is poor.
