Improper diet, stress and bad habits can cause inflammation in the pancreas. This is a serious disease that requires not only complex treatment, but also the correct correction of nutrition. A strict diet for pancreatitis is an integral part of the fight against the disease.
General principles of nutrition for pancreatitis
Pancreatitis can manifest itself spontaneously and bring great discomfort to a person (acute form) or have a latent and indolent character (chronic stage). Leaks differ from each other not only in terms of clinical symptoms, but also in the characteristics of the diet.
In acute pancreatitis, fasting for several days is recommended. 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 acute symptoms of the disease subside (severe pain, nausea, vomiting and profuse diarrhea). In chronic pancreatitis, it is important to follow a diet. This will help prevent flare-ups and achieve long-term remission.
In addition, you must adhere to the general principles of nutrition:
- Heat treatment of food with steam. It will help to preserve all the useful components of the food.
- Fractional feeding (up to 5 times a day in small doses) - reduces the load on the weakened digestive system.
- It is important to eat the food hot.
- Before eating, the food should be crushed to a liquid consistency.
It is important to avoid snacking during the day. Enough with the main meal. It is better to drink more hot tea or water. This will help remove toxins from the body and reduce abdominal discomfort.

With inflammation of the pancreas, doctors assign the patient nutrition according to the generally accepted classification of diets - table 5. Patients eat only healthy foods and completely refuse foods that cause the production of acid in the gastric fluid and stimulate an increase in the work ofof enzymes in a weakened organ.
