About this trial
This goal of this clinical trial is to see if people with recurrent acute pancreatitis or chronic pancreatitis can tolerate and regularly drink a tomato juice beverage. Researchers will also measure inflammation and ask participants to report how they feel. Everyone in the study will receive the tomato juice drink, and both participants and researchers will know what is being taken. The investigators expect the drink will be well tolerated, may lower inflammation, and may improve participant-reported symptoms and quality of life.
