There are few possible causes and most common is postoperative pseudocyst formation or chronic pancreatitis. In most cases it can be regulated by medications which include insulin supplements and enzymes for digestion Also alcohol is forbidden in these cases, and you should eat less fatty food, less sugar and more vegetables and boiled food. Also, avoid cytotoxic medications. If there is no improvement then surgical therapy may be considered and include Chat Doctor.  This is last option, and you should consult your doctor about this.
