Stomach flu vs. pancreatitis
I’ve been having symptoms of a stomach flu. However, I had an episode about 5 years ago which my doc diagnosed as acute pancreatitis. I’m wondering if this could be that instead of the stomach flu?

Pancreatitis can range from very mild self limiting pain to very serious condition . But if you had the same risk factor for this episode of pancreatitis even five years ago , then it could be pancreatitis .
