Improper diet, stress and bad habits can provoke inflammation of the pancreas. This is a serious disease that requires not only complex treatment, but also correct correction of the diet. A strict diet for pancreatitis is an integral part of the fight against the disease.
General principles of diet for pancreatitis
Pancreatitis can appear spontaneously and cause great discomfort to a person (acute form) or have a latent and slow character (chronic phase). Strains differ between them not only in clinical symptoms, but also in dietary characteristics.
Fasting for several days is recommended in acute pancreatitis. This is necessary to provide the body with a state of rest and reduce the focus of inflammation in the tissues.
You can start eating on the 4th day after the disappearance of acute symptoms of the disease (severe pain, nausea, vomiting and profuse diarrhea). In chronic pancreatitis, it is important to stick to a diet. This will help prevent exacerbations and achieve long-term remission.
In addition, you must adhere to the general principles of nutrition:
- Thermal treatment of food with steam. It will help to preserve all the useful ingredients of the food.
- Partial meals (up to 5 times a day in small doses) - reduces the load on the weakened digestive system.
