Yes, that is what I have read, but they don't all have the same symptoms.
No, I did not join the pancreatitis group, but will look into it.
No, on the nutrition group. Ellie 'snutritionist manages critically ill patients at Angell. Ellie has done well on the diets, but then something gets thrown off. This time it may not be setting well b/c it is so high in carbs, etc. Sweet potato goes really well as her carb, but it isn't calorically dense enough. She was losing too much weight. With 3 or 4 problems to try and manage with diet, I think this nutritionist is the best fit for us. There is no easy answer here and it is trial and error. I don't want one or two other opinions b/c then there will be competing views on how to manage her nutrition and I'm not going to change things around at their recommendation anyway. Too many cooks in the kitchen so to speak.
