Anybody here with reduced pancreas/no gallbladder?

Several years ago I had acute pancreatitis. I was left with a small bit of pancreas, a bit of intestine and no gall bladder.

I have since recovered and living mostly normally but take a few digestive enzymes.

I find that whenever I get viral gastroenteritis, I become extremely ill and it becomes very hard for the symptoms to abate. They go on for weeks and I become severely dehydrated and lose a lot of weight.

Is this simply because my digestive system is not functioning properly? Is there anything I can do to help this?
