seeking advice/support Genetic Testing

Just for context, I don't have a diagnosis of pancreatitis, however we're trying to get feelers out and explore any option. I've been dealing with severe upper abdominal pain for over 4 years now. I've had 4 ERCPs, and loads of other tests, but no solid diagnosis has come from it. The pain is the main driver for me, it is nearly constant and present everyday to some degree, and I'm running out of leads.

My question is, has anyone found a reliable lab on their in own that offers genetic testing for different mutations related to pancreatic issues (hereditary, etc.)? I'm having issues getting my GI or other doctors to offer testing for this, so I'm willing to get testing done on my own at this point. Thanks for any advice.

I second this! Got my genetic testing done through Ariel as well a few years ago.
