How much alcohol can i consume and how soon after a first acute attack of pancreatitis ?
926453
I had an acute attack of pancreatits once.  That is the worst pain I ever had in my life, and my vomit button was hung for at least 3 and a half hours.  I thought I was going to die, and I found out later that I easily could have.  Pancreatitis can be deadly.\n\nYou have had this (presumably), and judging by the fact that you are even considering to drink something so toxic soon after an attack, I come to the conclusion that you must have mental problems.  AA and prayer worked--and still work--very well for me.\n\nTo answer your question, someone may tell you 6 weeks, or something like that.  But there is really no way to tell when your body will be up to that after an attack of pancreatitis.  How severe was the attack?  How much damage was done to your pancreas?  Have you fully recovered yet?  It may take a very long time for your pancreas to heal, even if you feel reasonably alright, it may still not be in good shape.\n\nIMO, you should avoid alcohol for good.  But if you're determined to drink, I would then give it at least six months.  I am not a doctor, but I did have acute pancreatitis once, and it was during a time in my life when I drank alcohol regularly.\n\nMay you come to know the Lord Jesus, and have a peaceful eternity.

NO, drinking is NOT bad for diabetics, DUH! I love how every one says yes it is bad becuase of the sugar! Maybe some people who post comments will read this and know the truth! ARE YOU STUPID that is not why it is bad, the Barbra Davis center for diabetes says: \nBlood sugars may initially be elevated after drinking alcohol; beer, for example, contains a fair amount of carbohydrate. However, the more dangerous effect of alcohol is the lowering of the blood sugar level (as much as 6-12 hours later). The alcohol prevents the other foods stored in the body from being converted to blood sugar.\nIf alcohol consumption is to occur, some general rules are listed below:\n• Use alcohol only in moderation. Sip slowly and make one drink last a long time.\n• Eat when drinking alcohol. Never drink on an empty stomach.\n• A low blood sugar is the main worry - and a bedtime snack (solid protein and some carbohydrate) must be taken after drinking in the evening even if the bedtime blood sugar level is high.\n• The next morning, get up at the usual time, test blood sugar, take insulin, eat breakfast and then go back to bed if you feel ill. “Sleeping-in” can result in a bad reaction.\n• NEVER drink and drive. Ask a friend who has not been drinking to drive, or call someone to come and get you.\nA college student, helping to teach our College Workshop course to newly-graduated high school seniors, had a useful recommendation regarding college parties. He noted that if he had a cup in his hand, no one tried to push further drinks. In contrast, if his hands were empty (no glass), he received a lot of pressure. \nThe answer was to hold the same cup all evening and to just have fun!\nInstructions for completing food record form:\n1. Please write down everything you eat or drink for three days. This includes meals and snacks. Often it’s easier to remember what you eat if you record your food intake at the time you eat it.\n2. Include the amount of food or beverage eaten. Also include the method of preparation (baked, fried, broiled, etc.), as well as any brand names of products (labels can also be enclosed). Use standard measuring cups or spoons. Record meat portions in ounces after cooking. If you do not have a scale, you can estimate ounces. The size of a deck of cards is about equal to three ounces of meat.\n3. Be sure to include items added to your food. For example, include salad dressing on salad, margarine or butter on bread.\n4. Include any supplements you take (vitamin, mineral or protein powders). Write down the name of the supplement, what it contains and the amount taken. Include a copy of the label, if possible.\n5. Please include meal and snack times, blood glucose values, amount of insulin, type of food, amount of food, grams of carbohydrate and any activity or exercise. Put a star next to any blood sugar that is two hours after a meal. \nI found this info athttp://www.uchsc.edu/misc/diabetes/udchap11.html

Tell him he's right, you can't drink that much and not vomit, it's part of self preservation, and otherwise you could risked passing out and vomiting in your sleep and dieing. \n\nAnd next time, don't drink too much.. eat a meal before drinking, know when you feel the buzz, and stop drinking for an hour, drink soda or better yet, anything without cabonation, since carbonation speeds up alcohol to the bloodlines.  An hour per drink is the rule for being and remaining sober, so slack up a while before needing to leave. And eat plenty of non salty foods/snacks, so you aren't retaining liquids.

Day One: Drink as much Tequila, as humanly possible.\n\nDay Two: You won't care...You forgot, why you were drinking on Day One.\n\nIf a person took over 2000 mg of Niacin, you could have an acute reaction, possibly even liver damage. (*Heh, I was just kidding about the Tequila, O.K., but, by taking that much Niacin (a form of B-3)---you would most likely have a 'severe' headache, possibly chills, and ITCH !!! like 'crazy'!!! You would seriously, regret it! (So, as Mary said, do not get regular Niacin and "No-Flush", confused)

General rules apply.....\nclearly not more than the recommended 21 units for men and 18 units for women in a week....\n\nImportant that type 2 diabetics realise that too much alcohol contributes to increasing weight due to the empty calories without nutrition\n\nand that alcohol can worsen fatty liver.....\n\nand increase your triglyceride levels which are already high thanks to type 2 diabetes\n\nand that while more than a pint or two of beer can put up your glucose,......\n\nwhile 5 pints or more of beer along with exercise like dancing can make your sugar go low especially if you have not eaten decently.......\n\nBUT on the whole, type 2 diabetics have more leeway with regard to type 1 diabetics, in that the swings in glucose acutely are not THAT acute.....with lower concerns of ketoacidosis..\n\ni wouldnt totally take to heart skewed studies which can look at only one aspect of diabetes and say alcohol is good for diabetics..but everything in MODERATION...SEE: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=16458538&query_hl=23&itool=pubmed_docsum

Peppermint tea will probably help, avoid caffiene, alcohol and anything too sugary

yes, to no fever...\ndrink clear liquids only....no milk or dairy.  drink sips,like 1 oz every 30 minutes for a few hours then 2 oz every 30 minutes over a few hours....and so on...\nclear liquids are gatorade(R), sweet tea, water, popsicles, jello, flat soda....if he continues to vomit and have diarrhea for longer than 24 hours, go to the ED.\nonece the vomiting stops, so should the diarrhea.  if the diarrhea should turn bloody, then go to the ED immediately.

Chronic Pancreatitis\nIf injury to the pancreas continues, chronic pancreatitis may develop. Chronic pancreatitis occurs when digestive enzymes attack and destroy the pancreas and nearby tissues, causing scarring and pain. The usual cause of chronic pancreatitis is many years of alcohol abuse, but the chronic form may also be triggered by only one acute attack, especially if the pancreatic ducts are damaged. The damaged ducts cause the pancreas to become inflamed, tissue to be destroyed, and scar tissue to develop.\n\nWhile common, alcoholism is not the only cause of chronic pancreatitis. The main causes of chronic pancreatitis are\n\nalcoholism \nblocked or narrowed pancreatic duct because of trauma or pseudocysts have formed \nheredity \nunknown cause (idiopathic) \nDamage from alcohol abuse may not appear for many years, and then a person may have a sudden attack of pancreatitis. In up to 70 percent of adult patients, chronic pancreatitis appears to be caused by alcoholism. This form is more common in men than in women and often develops between the ages of 30 and 40.\n\nHereditary pancreatitis usually begins in childhood but may not be diagnosed for several years. A person with hereditary pancreatitis usually has the typical symptoms that come and go over time. Episodes last from 2 days to 2 weeks. A determining factor in the diagnosis of hereditary pancreatitis is two or more family members with pancreatitis in more than one generation. Treatment for individual attacks is usually the same as it is for acute pancreatitis. Any pain or nutrition problems are treated just as they are for acute pancreatitis. Surgery can often ease pain and help manage complications.\n\nOther causes of chronic pancreatitis are\n\ncongenital conditions such as pancreas divisum \ncystic fibrosis \nhigh levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia) \nhigh levels of blood fats (hyperlipidemia or hypertriglyceridemia) \nsome drugs \ncertain autoimmune conditions \nSymptoms\nMost people with chronic pancreatitis have abdominal pain, although some people have no pain at all. The pain may get worse when eating or drinking, spread to the back, or become constant and disabling. In certain cases, abdominal pain goes away as the condition advances, probably because the pancreas is no longer making digestive enzymes. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and fatty stools.\n\nPeople with chronic disease often lose weight, even when their appetite and eating habits are normal. The weight loss occurs because the body does not secrete enough pancreatic enzymes to break down food, so nutrients are not absorbed normally. Poor digestion leads to excretion of fat, protein, and sugar into the stool. If the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas (islet cells) have been damaged, diabetes may also develop at this stage.\nSpontaneous pneumothorax is a sudden collection of air or gas in the chest that causes the lung to collapse in the absence of a traumatic injury to the chest or lung.  Usually, a distinction is made between a spontaneous (primary) pneumothorax, and secondary (complicated) pneumothorax.\nSpontaneous pneumothorax occurs in individuals with no known lung disease.  It affects close to 9,000 persons in the United States each year- most often among tall, thin men between 20 and 40 years old.  The cause of this type of pneumothorax is the rupture of a bleb or cyst in the lung. \n\nSymptoms include:\n\nChest pain on affected side  \nDyspnea (shortness of breath) \nCough \nAbnormal breathing movement \nRapid respiratory rate \nSpontaneous pneumothorax is diagnosed by chest radiographs. \n\ni really dont see a conection between the 2..

Alcohol is full of sugar.  Drinking (or getting drunk, or whatever) will make it difficult to build muscle mass simply because drinking is equivalent to eating chocolate, or cake, or anything else with sugar for that matter.  When you consume any form of simple sugar (processed goodies or alcohol) your pancreas must release more insulin to stabilize blood sugar (and when you drink heavily, or eat lots of sweets) you blow your insulin level through the roof!  You can dehydrate yourself this way...and this is how your muscles feel so terrible after drinking.

It depends on the state but in most states you are allowed to drive after a number of drinks as long as you are within the blood-alcohol threshold. In Texas it is currently set at .08.

Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. The pancreas is a large gland behind the stomach and close to the duodenum. The duodenum is the upper part of the small intestine. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine through a tube called the pancreatic duct. These enzymes help digest fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in food. The pancreas also releases the hormones insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream. These hormones help the body use the glucose it takes from food for energy.\n\nNormally, digestive enzymes do not become active until they reach the small intestine, where they begin digesting food. But if these enzymes become active inside the pancreas, they start "digesting" the pancreas itself.\n\n   \nAcute pancreatitis occurs suddenly and lasts for a short period of time and usually resolves. Chronic pancreatitis does not resolve itself and results in a slow destruction of the pancreas. Either form can cause serious complications. In severe cases, bleeding, tissue damage, and infection may occur. Pseudocysts, accumulations of fluid and tissue debris, may also develop. And enzymes and toxins may enter the bloodstream, injuring the heart, lungs, and kidneys, or other organs.\n\nIf injury to the pancreas continues, chronic pancreatitis may develop. Chronic pancreatitis occurs when digestive enzymes attack and destroy the pancreas and nearby tissues, causing scarring and pain. The usual cause of chronic pancreatitis is many years of alcohol abuse, but the chronic form may also be triggered by only one acute attack, especially if the pancreatic ducts are damaged. The damaged ducts cause the pancreas to become inflamed, tissue to be destroyed, and scar tissue to develop.\n\nWhile common, alcoholism is not the only cause of chronic pancreatitis. The main causes of chronic pancreatitis are\n\nalcoholism \nblocked or narrowed pancreatic duct because of trauma or pseudocysts have formed \nheredity \nunknown cause (idiopathic) \nDamage from alcohol abuse may not appear for many years, and then a person may have a sudden attack of pancreatitis. In up to 70 percent of adult patients, chronic pancreatitis appears to be caused by alcoholism. This form is more common in men than in women and often develops between the ages of 30 and 40.\n\n\nAlthough one of the primary risk factors for pancreatitis is long-term alcohol abuse, only a small percentage of people with alcoholism develop the disease. For that reason, researchers believe that more than one factor may be involved in pancreatitis, including:\n\nGallbladder disease. Gallstones that lodge in the lower portion of the bile duct can block the pancreatic duct, causing digestive juices to back into the pancreas, where they destroy healthy tissue. \nEthnicity. Black Americans are more likely to develop pancreatitis than white Americans are. \nYour sex. Pancreatitis occurs more frequently in men, possibly because men are more likely to abuse alcohol than women are. \nCigarettes and other toxins. Some researchers theorize that the stress of metabolizing drugs, tobacco and even pollution may damage your pancreas. \nGenetic mutations. Abnormalities in one or more genes may predispose some people to pancreatitis. \nOther medical conditions. Certain inherited diseases, particularly cystic fibrosis, increase your risk of pancreatitis.

Yes, a diabetic can consume alcohol, but it really isn't recommended. If you do decide to drink, keep these guidelines in mind:\n-- Only drink when your blood sugar level is in good control / within the normal range. Alcohol actually lowers blood sugar so if you are low, don't drink at all. \n-- Keep it within limits of reason. 1 drink is plenty. \n-- Avoid heavy beers and sugary mixed drinks. Settle for light / ultra light beers or drinks mixed with water / soda water. \n-- Always have someone with you who knows how to react in case of a diabetic emergency. Your blood sugar may react differently to alcohol consumption at different times so don't count on one reaction being the norm for you. \n-- Always have a driver! Drinking and driving is deadly for anyone... not just diabetics. \n\nAgain, alcohol consumption can be very dangerous for the diabetic patient, but if you must drink, use your head and keep your reason.

Bad idea to drink yet.  Alcohol tends to thin the blood and it could cause blood clots that have occured in the pockets where your teeth were to open up and you could start bleeding.
