good news, i'm pancreatitis sufferrer for many years . . . you'll have to give up the booze altogether for you not to have attacks . . . every time you have a drink, your stomach gets inflamation and the pain is unbearable . . . good news is, i've travelled to ja 3x during winters without having attacks = no booze . . . the food is easily obtainable . . .

definitely would not want to be in ja with an attack. . . .
