Probiotics appear to mitigate pancreatitis: Surprising hypothetical mechanism
warrants further investigation - Science Daily, 11/16/11 -
"The major finding: in the small intestine, higher than
normal numbers of the newly discovered bacterium, "commensal rat ileum
bacterium" (CRIB) were correlated with reduced severity of acute pancreatitis in
animals that had been fed probiotic. These animals had less infection of remote
organs, less infection of dying and dead pancreatic tissues, and less severe
immune response during acute pancreatitis, as demonstrated by lower plasma
levels of proinflammatory cytokines" - See

consumption - Eur J Clin Nutr. 2010 Dec 1 - "chronic pancreatitis (CP) ...
Of these patients, 84.7% had at least one carotenoid deficiency and 27.5% had
more than four carotenoid deficiencies ... Lycopene concentration was decreased
in patients with vascular disease (171±197 vs 99±72 μg/l; P=0.02). After an
intervention period of 8±2 months ... Carotenoid concentrations are dramatically
decreased in CP, especially lycopene in CP patients with vascular disease" -

double blind trial, 127 patients, ages 30.5+/-10.5, were assigned to placebo
or antioxidant groups. After six months, the reduction in the number of
painful days/month was significantly higher in the antioxidant group,
compared with the placebo group (7.4±6.8 versus 3.2±4, respectively). The
reduction in the number of analgesic tablets/month was also higher in the
antioxidant group (10.5±11.8 versus 4.4±5.8, respectively). Furthermore, 32

placebo groups, respectively; the beneficial effect of antioxidants on pain
