Abstract
Acute pancreatitis, a common gastrointestinal ailment in the United States, often lacks a clear etiology, with one-third of cases deemed idiopathic. We discuss an 84-year-old woman with acute pancreatitis possibly linked to a recently introduced weight loss supplement containing apple cider vinegar. Literature review unveils scant data regarding the risks of acute pancreatitis associated with less rigorously studied and regulated supplements, such as apple cider vinegar products. Considering the morbidity and financial burden associated with acute pancreatitis, there is a pressing need to report and disseminate awareness of diverse etiologies, encompassing drug and supplement-induced cases. This case report endeavors to address this need.
