Q: Pancreatitis diagnosis and on enzymes

I am new to this, so hope I am doing it right. Just feel frustrated and lost. Here is some of my background, I was diagnosed with pancreatitis a few months ago, I have been in pain for almost 2 years. My liver enzyme count was elevated so my family doctor sent me for ultrasound and x-ray showed inflammed pancreas, then he sent me for CT which confirmed. I met with a GI specialist who was conserned with my blood work so ordered an MRI and put me on enzymes. The enzymes helped I think I was also on a 10 day liquid diet after a severe attack. The MRI came back normal, that confused me. They still want me to have a colonoscopy and endoscope.
