Abstract
Patients with hyperamylasemia detected by medical health examination are usually suspected as acute pancreatitis. But, further examination often reveals some of them as S type hyperamylasemia, and then the patients are referred to dentists or oral surgeons. Here, we report two patients who had suffered from unidentified S type hyperamylasemia, but appeared to have an unusual habit of meals by medical interview and thereafter recovered from hyperamylasemia by dietary intervention against excessive taste of tartness. When we encounter unidentified S type hyperamylasemia, medical interview about habit of meals is important and dietary intervention may be an effective treatment for S type hyperamylasemia.
