Hi,

Yes there is definitely a link. Pancreatitis is somewhat common with MC because MC can (and often does) result in inflammation of any part of the digestive system.

Typically, after we change our diet and bring our MC symptoms under control (as our gut heals), the pancreatic inflammation fades away also.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Alright that would explain why my symptoms started after my pancreas flared up. My pancreas has been good sense, but now my small intestine is flared.
