Can I drink coffee in pancreatitis?

The morning of a large number of people begins with a cup of coffee, and then more than once repeats during the day. This drink helps to wake up, charges vivacity, gives energy and is just delicious and fragrant. In patients with pancreatitis, any product before going to the table undergoes a brain test for the attitude towards the pancreas. A question arises also about him. So, is coffee available for pancreatitis?

Coffee for chronic pancreatitis, cholecystitis and gastritis

The drink itself can not provoke the development of pathology. Exacerbation of the existing disease eliminates the drink from the diet until the appearance of persistent remission. When chronic pancreatitis drink it on an empty stomach is also undesirable, because caffeine promotes increased release of hydrochloric acid, which contradicts the task of the body - through pancreatic juice to neutralize the acidic environment that has fallen from the stomach into the duodenum. It is best to drink a drink after eating, and unless it provokes any unpleasant symptoms: pain, heaviness, eructations, then enjoy a couple of cups a day.

If pancreatitis is complicated by cholecystitis, and more often it happens, the stimulation of gastric juice production is completely useless. It will provoke increased secretion of bile, there will be pain in the right hypochondrium, nausea, heaviness. An acute attack often ends in a hospital bed. Therefore, coffee with pancreatitis and cholecystitis is highly undesirable, especially when drunk before eating. When a person completely suffers without him, then sometimes you can afford a weak drink from natural ground grains with the addition of milk.

Coffee contains caffeine and catephol, which get into the stomach irritating its walls, increase the production of gastric juice, thus being exposed to aggressive effects of both the gastric mucosa and the pancreas. The severity of the restriction of the drink depends on the classification of gastritis by the level of secretion. With increased acidity, the ban is more categorical, while a lower one allows infrequent drinking of a soft drink prepared from ground coffee with milk no earlier than an hour after eating.

Benefits

Coffee is not only a delight for its lovers, but also a definite benefit to the body. From numerous studies emerges that this drink is quite ambiguous in relation to various human organs and their pathologies. Thus, its positive role in the prevention of cancer due to its antioxidants and phenolic compounds has been proven. It reduces the risk of diabetics of the second type, tk. The combination of Cafestol in its composition stimulates the production of insulin pancreatic. Caffeine suppresses appetite, directs energy to metabolism by releasing the hormone of the hypothalamus oxytocin, therefore it provides a good service to those who lose weight. His positive role in the prevention of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease is also noted. It increases muscle strength in the elderly.

Influence of coffee on the pancreas

There are different types of coffee and ways to prepare it. Consider the influence of the individual on the pancreas:

• soluble coffee and pancreatic - many prefer it to him, hoping that he contains less caffeine than natural, but this is not entirely true. Caffeine in it is not much less, but in excess of flavorings, preservatives, dyes. Because of them for the pancreas, this is the most inappropriate option, and yet it greatly increases acidity, washing away from the body useful components: vitamins, minerals, dehydrates it;
• coffee with milk in pancreatitis - the addition of milk neutralizes the effect of caffeine, reduces digestive activity. It is more preferable for chronic inflammation of the body, if you drink after eating and not too often;
• natural coffee with pancreatitis - it is obtained from grains by roasting and grinding. Brew in the Turkish and to make it less saturated, bring to a boil only once and immediately removed from the fire. To avoid the negative consequences of relatively pancreatic, it is preferable to drink not on an empty stomach and no more than twice a day. Appearing pain, heaviness is a signal to stop taking a drink;
• decaffeinated coffee with pancreatitis - the so-called decaffeination does not completely remove caffeine, but significantly (in 5 times) reduces its content. Along with this positive moment, this coffee becomes more acidic, which is very undesirable for the pancreas, and it displays no less calcium than the usual one.

Contraindications

In addition to contraindications associated with the digestive organs, coffee is not desirable for hypertensive patients, since increases the level of blood pressure by an average of 10 points, pregnant women, children and the elderly.

Possible risks

Coffee can exacerbate the inflammatory process of the digestive system, and the washing out with it of valuable trace elements can lead to a slowdown in recovery after the acute phase of the disease. Other risks and possible complications are associated with its ability to constrict vessels, which means increasing blood pressure, making calcium absorption difficult, leading to brittle bones, stimulating diuresis, causing anxiety and dependence.

How to replace coffee in pancreatitis?

If you can not combine pathology with your favorite drink and pancreas does not perceive it, what can replace coffee in pancreatitis? Here are the possible drinks for pancreatitis:

• chicory - the root of this plant contains many useful components. Getting into the stomach, it does not cause a sharp release of gastric and pancreatic juice, inulin in its composition lowers the sugar level in the blood, which is very important for violations of insulin production. Chicory powder is sold in the trade network, bitter taste, the addition of milk makes it similar to coffee with milk. If necessary, when a firm taboo on coffee is imposed, it is quite capable of replacing it;
• green tea with pancreatitis - this drink is an excellent alternative to coffee. Unlike black, it undergoes minimal fermentation, so it is healthy. In it, caffeine is not present in a pure, but bound form and is called theine. It has a milder effect on the organs and has a unique ability to relieve inflammation, pancreatic edema, and also reduce glucose levels, normalize carbohydrate metabolism, break down fats, and infer bad cholesterol. Drink it best after half an hour after a meal;
• green coffee in pancreatitis is the natural color of the fruit of coffee, and the lack of treatment makes it more useful for inflammation of the pancreas than other varieties. He is good at processing fats, which is important when there is a violation of body secretion. And yet, the drink from green grains also needs to be dosed;
• cocoa with pancreatitis - an aromatic and tasty drink is recommended only during a period of persistent remission of the disease. First, it is prepared slightly concentrated on milk in half with water, in the absence of negative manifestations, you can increase the amount of powder. It is not necessary to get involved in them, because it stimulates pancreatic secretion due to the purines and oxalates contained in it. Often in its soluble forms, various harmful chemicals are used, which is dangerous for the diseased organ.
