Your pancreas secretes digestive enzymes such as amylase, lipase and trypsin which help to break down some things like fat, starches and proteins. The organ also produces insulin, the hormone that regulates blood glucose levels. If the pancreas is not working properly, it could cause upset stomachs, nausea or vomiting due to difficulty with digestion. It would also cause Diabetes if it is no longer able to produce insulin.
