I'm having these gas issues and it's causing some chest pain, especially on the left side of my chest. I've been taking medicine for it, but still, the pain comes and goes, like when I bend or sometimes when I take a deep breath. Could all of this be just because of gas?

View allI've been eating raw rice for over two years now and I usually eat quite a lot every day. I'm starting to wonder if this habit could be bad for my health. Is eating raw rice harmful?
Eating raw rice can be harmful as it may lead to various health issues. It can cause digestive problems such as bloating, gas, and constipation. In severe cases, it can also lead to nutrient deficiencies due to the phytates present in raw rice that can interfere with nutrient absorption. I recommend seeking medical advice to address this habit.

My brother has been dealing with chronic pancreatitis for the past 4-5 years. Every time he gets treated, doctors find his lipase and amylase levels are abnormally high. They manage it with drips and painkillers until he stabilizes, then slowly reintroduce his diet. This cycle keeps repeating. Is there any permanent solution whether it's medication, surgery, or even an organ transplant? He doesn't drink or use any drugs, and he's just a regular student. What options do we have to stop this from happening again?
Chronic pancreatitis has very limited Treatment options. What is the mri/ mrcp findings. If pancreatic duct is large then it can be diverted ( operated). Other wise there is no specific treatment except pain management. For pain management various options including nerve blocks can be tried.
