If it is pancreatitis, it can also be a result of a gall bladder stone lodging in the pancreatic duct. This is painful in the extreme. It is also life-threatening. Glad to hear that he's in the hospital. Any new news? MA

What set that off could be many things - life style, diet, etc. I would also guess he is dehydrated.
