My brother has been dealing with chronic pancreatitis for the past 4-5 years. Every time he gets treated, doctors find his lipase and amylase levels are abnormally high. They manage it with drips and painkillers until he stabilizes, then slowly reintroduce his diet. This cycle keeps repeating. Is there any permanent solution whether it's medication, surgery, or even an organ transplant? He doesn't drink or use any drugs, and he's just a regular student. What options do we have to stop this from happening again?

I'm really worried because I've had HH for the last 10 years and been on medication, specifically nexpre 20 plain, every day and it's been manageable. But for the last 5 or 6 years, I've noticed blood in my stool occasionally which goes away after a few days. This time something else seems to be happeninglike some kind of flesh is coming out and I have no idea what that could be. Can you help me understand what's going on?
