Pancreatitis is pathologic swelling and inflammation of the pancreas. Your pancreas resides behind your stomach. It secretes enzymes that help you digest food and regulates how your body breaks down sugars. Pancreatitis can come and go quickly, or it can be a chronic problem.
What is the pancreas? It is a silent, solid organ positioned behind the stomach in the upper part of the abdomen. The body's main digestive organ, the pancreas is composed of different cells that serve distinct functions. Some cells produce digestive juices or enzymes, while the others produce hormones.
