Dear FF..

You brought up acute pancreatitis as being caused by drinking alcohol, gall stones, and high trigs being the cause of pancreatitis, and state inflammation is a "symptom" of pancreatitis, and not the disease..

Sorry, but you are mistaken in this example. "Acute Pancreatitis" literally means, sudden inflammation of the pancreas. The suffix "itis" means it is an inflammatory disease (disorder), and acute means over a short period of time. The damage to the pancreas is related to proteolytic enzymes being released into the soft tissues and triggering an enormous inflammatory response. It is this inflammatory response that creates the symptoms of acute pancreatitis, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and possibly peritonitis..and most of the damage to the pancreas.
