Sudden intense pains in middle of the abdomen, often beginning 12 to 24 hours after eating a heavy meal.
Fever, nausea, or vomiting, clammy skin, distention of belly.
doctor will sometimes put you on IV to feed you intravenously and to protect you from dehydration. and they sometimes drain your stomach, by putting tube in your nose and threading it to stomach.
They usually put you on a brat diet. Bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. All right if the hospital kitchn throughly cooks the rice.
bad if they do not.
I advoided fatty foots, all wine etc. Went on no gravy, no butter, no creamed vegetables for a while.
Helped.

During acute attacks, high levels of amylase (a digestive enzyme formed in the pancreas) are found in the blood. Changes may also occur in blood levels of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate. Patients may have high amounts of sugar and lipids (fats) in their blood too. These changes help the doctor diagnose pancreatitis. After the pancreas recovers, blood levels of these substances usually return to normal.
