Pancreatic diseases begin from the Liver
Filed Under Biochemistry
Pancreatic diseases are the serious alarming bell to change the diet, life style and focus on the liver’s health. Why on the liver, “I was told I have problem with my pancreas?”
To understand that, we have to accept the idea that all upper GI tract organs such as stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and duodenum work together as a orchestra and failure in one organ causes the problems in whole system. To understand relation between liver, bile ducts and pancreatic gland one needs to know about structure, function and relationship of these organs.
Liver is our chemical factory with many tasks. Manufacture and release the bile is one of the life important functions of the liver.
Liver removes the toxins from our body by separating them on water-soluble and fat-soluble substances.
First, liver makes water-soluble wastes less toxic; moves them to the blood and then to the kidney for urination them out.
Second, liver move the fat-soluble wastes into the bile and then to the small and large intestines for eliminating them out from body. More toxins are in our body, more toxins go to the bile. The liver is a storage site for carcinogenic chemicals, pesticides, drugs, and other toxins. Inability to remove these toxic substances can lead to decreased bile production and inflammatory changes in the liver and bile ducts. Thus, bile is getting acidic, aggressive and can corrode another tissue and cells. When the bile throws back to the stomach, it causes ulcers.
When the bile throws back to the pancreatic duct it causes blockage of the duct that drains digestive enzymes from the pancreas leading to inflammation of pancreas - pancreatitis.
The main reason to make bile aggressive is deficiency of minerals, microelements and bicarbonates, which cause the acidosis and changing of biochemistry of bile and pancreatic juice. From another hand, our organism is bombarded every day by myriads of harmful chemicals from food, water, air and toxins from inside or outside of our body. The worst enemy for the liver and bile is alcohol, thus, it is not wonder, that alcohol abuse is number one factor leading to pancreatitis. Unfortunately, there are many parasites, especially one cell organisms, which also cause toxicity and inflammation of bile ducts.
All of these above cause difficulties with production and elimination of bile. Toxic, acidic, solid bile with gallbladder stones or sand may obstruct the bile ducts and spasms of valve between the bile and pancreatic ducts and small intestine (duodenum). These stones can be very small like sand or large and can make blockage of moving of bile, increasing the pressure into pancreatic duct and back up the pancreatic juices that doctors call biliary pancreatic reflux.
The pancreatic digestive enzymes, which trapped inside, start to digest their own pancreatic cells causing congestion, inflammation, pain, cysts and finally death of tissue of pancreas gland.
If the doctor diagnoses pancreatitis this is a huge signal to change the life style and focus on liver and bile health.

Successful treatment of chronic pancreatitis is generally difficult and without focusing on liver and bile problems almost impossible. Contrary, the improving the biochemistry of bile, enhance the production and promote the elimination of bile are very beneficial for people with pancreatic disorders.
