Overview

History

Symptoms

Patients with chronic pancreatitis usually present with persistent abdominal pain or steatorrhea resulting from malabsorption of the fats in food (typically very bad-smelling and equally hard on the patient), as well as severe nausea.

The patient may also complain about pain related to their food intake, especially those meals containing a high percentage of fats and protein.
