Many congenital brain defects cause minor neurological impairment. People with these types of congenital brain defects can grow to function independently. Other defects are so severe that they are fatal before or shortly after birth. Some cause significant disabilities.
I am looking into this for a friend as well. The pancreas deals with digestive juices and insulin. Have a look at your medications to see if they may have gastrointestinal effects. I can tell you that Tramadol does affect the production of enzymes in the intestine.
The pancreas makes pancreatic juices and hormones, including insulin. The pancreatic juices are enzymes that help digest food in the small intestine. Insulin controls the amount of sugar in the blood. As pancreatic juices are made, they flow into the main pancreatic duct. This duct joins the common bile duct, which connects the pancreas to the liver and the gallbladder.
