Ive researched this myself just a bit on the corelation of high liver enzymes, high pancreatic enzymes, and Crohns. They only list 3 main causes that are associated with Crohns, but I'm a bit skeptical. I've had all 3 with no meds 2 out of the 3 times, so it wasn't the meds. Asked my Doc and he said it is very rare to have Crohns causing these two things. Again, I'm skeptical. Had the highest enzymes though with a bowel obstruction, so think I will do more research regarding obstructive processes in the bowel related to elevated enzumes. Now THAT may be the key. Maybe having a narrowing, slowing of the bowel, not quite obstruction can cause it. Also, there was another thread on here about how many Crohns patients have their gall bladders out. Related, or have they all been looking for a diagnosis?
I'm getting way out there, sorry. I guess I just like to boil things down to the mechanical reasons. Ever noticed that sitting certain way causes pain in the gut? Just some thoughts.
