Improper diet, stress, and bad habits can trigger inflammation of the pancreas. This is a serious condition that requires not only complex treatment, but also the correct corrective diet. A strict pancreatitis diet is an integral part of fighting the disease.
General principles of the pancreatitis diet
Pancreatitis can manifest spontaneously, causing great discomfort to a person (acute form) or with latent and delayed features (chronic phase). Leaks differ not only in clinical symptoms, but also in dietary characteristics.
In acute pancreatitis, a few days of fasting is recommended. This is necessary in order to provide the body with a state of rest and to reduce the focus of inflammation in the tissues.
You can start eating on the 4th day after the acute symptoms of illness (severe pain, nausea, vomiting, and heavy diarrhea) have subsided. In chronic pancreatitis, diet adherence is important. This will help prevent exacerbations and achieve long-term remission.
In addition, you need to follow the general principles of nutrition:
- Steam heat treatment of food. It will help preserve all the useful ingredients of the food.
- Fragmented nutrition (up to 5 times a day, in small doses) - reduces the load on a weak digestive system.
- Eating warm food is important.
- Food must be crushed to a liquid consistency before eating.
It is important to avoid snacking throughout the day. The main meal is full. It is best to drink more warm tea or water. This will help remove toxins from the body and reduce abdominal discomfort.
What can you eat with pancreatitis
For pancreatic inflammation, physicians attribute patient nutrition to Table 5 according to generally accepted dietary classifications. Patients eat only wholesome foods, completely rejecting foods that cause acid production in gastric juices and stimulate increased work to weaken enzymes in the organs.
