I know this is a little late but I read that they give dog who has this condition, raw pancreas extract from a pig to replenish their pancreatic enzymes. I'm sure that a doctor could give her those enzymes. I'm not sure how potent they would be Over-the-counter.
Otherwise eliminate all Sugar because it is a killer for the pancreas. Taking vitamins is also a good idea and getting as healthy as possible.

Other causes of chronic pancreatitis are
congenital conditions such as pancreas divisum
cystic fibrosis
high levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia)
high levels of blood fats (hyperlipidemia or hypertriglyceridemia)
some drugs
certain autoimmune conditions

but also look at these.
ASPARTAME is added to soda and food to reduce calories, it is a deadly poison and should be banned. Doctors will continue to cut everything out of her until she is dead if she lets them. Tell her not to, it is a crime against humanity what the doctors do.
