Inflamed Pancreas in Ostomy Patients?

This topic is about the experiences of people who have had pancreatitis after undergoing ostomy surgery. The original question is whether anyone with an ostomy has also dealt with an inflamed pancreas, known as pancreatitis.

Here are some insights and advice shared by others:

1. One person shared that they developed pancreatitis about 45 days after having bowel resection surgery. During the surgery, their pancreas was accidentally injured, which led to another hospital stay and additional surgery to fix the issue.

2. For treatment, this person underwent surgical repair, received antibiotics, and had a JP (Jackson-Pratt) drain placed. They did not need to take Creon or any other pancreatic enzyme replacement.

3. There are questions about whether others have had to take Creon, a prescription pancreatic enzyme, to help with food absorption, and what tests confirmed their pancreatic issues.
