Hi everyone,

I'm hoping to get some help from fellow forum users about the topic of antibiotics and how they may affect pancreatitis. Does anyone have any experience with this or any advice? Is there any research on the subject that I should look into? I'm interested to know if antibiotics can make pancreatitis worse or if they could potentially help alleviate symptoms. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
