I agree with Linda's post.

...and even if by some miracle she was not dehydrated (not at all convinced), fluids are still given if pancreatitis is suspected so that they don't have to drink. Even water by mouth is not recommended in cases of acute pancreatitis.

Also, I'm not familiar with giving dry oatmeal to pancreatitis patients, so I can't comment on that only to say it is not standard of care.

Pancreatitis can't be diagnosed by just an exam, esp. if there is no abdominal pain. It can only be strongly suspected.
