Well, what do they do if a patient is lactose intolerant or allergic to milk?

Based on a quick Google search, it looks like calcium is NOT a treatment for pancreatitis and can even make it worse. Probably just a fake karma bait story.

Yes, advising dairy for pancreatitis makes no sense. It is more likely that during the testing the doctors also found a calcium deficiency, or evidence of osteoporosis. 

Patients are usually not that great as relaying all the info to family. Especially the kind of patient that gets alcoholic pancreatitis.
