Hello, my mum has just had the whipple procedure. Taken part of her liver, stomach, all her pancreas, gall bladder and bile duct. She is diabetic and getting the diabetes medication levels right has been a little awkward but her real problem is terrible stomach upsets whuch are caused by her allergy to anything with pork in it. This has nothing to do with religion, we are all CofE. She has had this allergy all her life. Apparently the tablets (enzyms) she now has to take have pork derived products in them. She now has a very embarrasing digestion problem and the hospital will neither allow her home nor can find an alternative to the medication she must take constantly. Anyone else had this problem? Thanks in advance for any advice.
