The enzymes produced by the pancreas cannot get through and back up onto pancreas, in the worse cases the pancreas will digest itself, necrotise or go hard. To protect itself from these it can enlarge, create a protective sac become infected but in 95% of case removal of the gallbladder solves the problem, blood sugars return to normal. It can take months for the panc to get back to normal, in most cases not drinking any alcohol for at least 6 months and eating a low fat diet, with little meals, less more often. Gives the panc time to rest and heal.Please tell your wife to be kind to herself, take time to heal, and get well again</blockquote>
