Hi, 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. Besides, 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. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Wish you a good health. Kindly regards, Ivan R. Rammstein
