Broths for pancreatitis: chicken, vegetable, fish, beef

Our national food culture has a tradition of preparing first courses with rich broths. It's delicious and satisfying, but is it healthy? Especially if there are problems with the pancreas. Pancreatitis is characterized by the presence of an inflammatory process in the organ, and the presence of fats and many other ingredients in it due to slow gradual boiling can cause an activation of the secretion of pancreatic juice. Fortunately, there are some secrets of their preparation, as well as vegetable broths that will not harm, but will only benefit.

Vegetarian diet for pancreatitis

In the  treatment of pancreatitis  , a properly selected diet plays a huge role. In order to unload the pancreas, doctors recommend switching to a vegetarian diet from time to time. Such food does not contain fats, but only proteins and carbohydrates. Since many raw vegetables contain coarse fiber, it is best to use them cooked: bake, boil in water or steam, simmer. After getting rid of acute attacks, raw ones are gradually introduced, but soft, ripe, not sour. An absolute prohibition at any phase of the disease on turnips, radishes, radishes, raw onions, garlic, as well as herbs: sorrel, spinach. [1],  [2], [3]

What soups can you eat for pancreatitis?

For its correct compilation, you need to follow the recommendations for the dietary table No. 5p, specially designed for people with this diagnosis.

The diet provides for the preparation of first courses on light secondary meat, fish broths, non-concentrated vegetable broths, and best of all, just on water, filling them with sour cream or butter.

Is it possible to chicken with pancreatitis?

Chicken is considered a dietary meat, but against the backdrop of numerous information in the media about what the bird is fed with, what drugs are stuffed so that a pestilence does not happen, you begin to doubt whether this is so. In order not to contradict this statement, we will consider poultry that is easy to buy on the market.

White chicken meat, twisted and steamed, is consumed even during an exacerbation of pancreatitis. After 2 weeks, when it is not necessary to adhere to mechanical sparing of the digestive organs, chicken meat can be eaten without first grinding. It is served with cereals or cooked vegetables.

Giblets (ventricles, hearts), due to their dense structure, which is not softened even by high temperatures, can be introduced into the diet in small doses not earlier than several months of a stable normal state of health. [5]

Benefits

The absence of solid particles, the concentration of substances necessary for the body makes broths a useful dish when recovering from operations, various intestinal infections, the inability to eat food of a different consistency due to illness, physical and mental exhaustion, to increase appetite, stimulate the production of gastric juice.

What broths can be used for pancreatitis?

Obviously, not all meats are suitable for pancreatitis broths. Consider those that you can use:

• chicken broth - acute pancreatitis excludes the possibility of eating this dish. The reason lies in its ability to activate the production of a pancreatic enzyme, which is fraught with aggravation of the condition: pain, nausea and vomiting. In the patient's menu, it may appear no earlier than 5-6 months after an exacerbation.

Before cooking, remove bones, skin, fat, and it is best to use white meat from chicken breast. Fill it with water, boil it for 15-20 minutes after boiling, then pour it out, pour in new water and bring it to readiness (determined by meat). Spices, except for a small amount of salt, are not used. This is how a secondary broth is cooked from any meat;

• vegetable broths for pancreatitis - their main advantage is the absence of fats and the presence of vitamins and minerals, which remain in small quantities in them after cooking. Vegetables of a neutral flavor such as carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, pumpkin, and zucchini are best suited for him. It can be drunk by extracting vegetables, and soups are also prepared on it. To make it richer, add butter or sour cream;
• meat broth for pancreatitis - the flesh of beef is most suitable for it, and preferably veal, but not pork. Bone bones are also too rich and harmful for the pancreas. Provoke increased secretion of pancreatic juice. The beef broth is prepared with a secondary recipe. It is drunk by adding finely chopped greens or soups are cooked on it;
• fish broth for pancreatitis - fish soup is prepared on it. For it, you need to take low-fat varieties of fish, filter when ready, and only then add other ingredients, except for spices. All liquid dishes are needed only warm;
• turkey broth for pancreatitis is the best meat for dietary meals. It attracts nutritionists because it is low in calories, it has little cholesterol, collagen and elastin, its protein is absorbed by the body by 95%, it is not allergenic. With pancreatitis, turkey meat is valuable because it does not cause an increase in pancreatic secretion. All the rules for cooking broths apply to this meat: the breast is used, the first broth is drained. Liquid dishes on it are consumed during a period of stable remission.

Contraindications

Broths are contraindicated for gout, hypernatremia, kidney disease, gallstones.

Possible risks

The negative side of broths are extractives - individual chemical compounds released from meat and fish (to a lesser extent) during cooking. But if you drain the first broth, then you can avoid possible complications that can affect the organs of the digestive tract.
