Cicoris in the pancreas

By pancreatitis is meant an acute or chronic inflammatory disease affecting the pancreas. It occurs in approximately 1-2% of patients who enter the hospital with an inaccurate diagnosis and complaints of an acute abdomen. There is a wide variety of causes that can trigger pancreatitis. This is, first of all, an unhealthy diet, violation of the drinking regime, taking certain medications, long-term antibiotic treatment. One of the simplest modern treatments is  chicory for pancreatitis.

Recognizing pancreatitis is quite simple. The clinical picture is very specific and difficult to confuse it with the symptoms of other diseases. In addition, the clinic is very variable and varies widely from mild attacks to severe inflammation and necrosis, which can progress to death. Attacks are accompanied by pain, minor attacks. Pain develops mainly in the epigastric region, as well as on the left side under the ribs. The most common symptoms of pancreatitis are symptoms such as severe bouts of pain of a severe nature, of strong intensity, which are accompanied by spasm and are given to the hypochondrium. Often there are cases in which pain radiates to the back, spreads throughout the abdomen. Pains are significantly aggravated after taking alcohol, coffee, heavy food, marinals. Also, pathology is accompanied by seizures, hyperamalazauria.

The essence of pancreatitis treatment comes down to the fact that the patient is urgently hospitalized. Specialized treatment is carried out there. Often this is a surgical treatment, which is carried out by the type of acute abdomen. If it is possible to do without surgery, conservative treatment is carried out. To do this, apply a sparing diet, restriction of food and beverages. This is the main condition for successful treatment. After that, you can move on to drug therapy, the essence of which is reduced to the suction of gastric juice and the use of drugs that take him outside, deactivate enzymes. To reduce the secretion of gastric and pancreatic juice requires the appointment of anticholinergic. Mostly resort to the use of sodium sulfate. In the presence of spasms, spasmolytics are prescribed, which relieve the spasm. In case of excessive synthesis of juice and pancreatic enzymes, its excretion is made by introducing a thin gastric probe. If severe pain occurs, painkillers, analgesics are prescribed. Sometimes used intravenous, intramuscular, paravertebral administration. In severe conditions, a person needs plasma and plasma substitutes.

It is important to monitor blood counts.

Can you drink soluble chicory with pancreatitis?

Pancreatitis can be a complication of other diseases of the digestive tract. The duct expands, its properties gradually change. Often there is rupture of the duct under the pressure of bile, or its inflammation and the development of stagnation and the infection process at the site of the lesion. It is also worth noting that the secret contains proteolytic enzymes in its composition, which normally should break down food. But with the stagnation of enzymes in the bladder, the process of erosion of the duct walls with the subsequent formation of erosions and ulcers begins. Also, against the background of all this, bleeding may develop, acute pain and bleeding may appear.

Especially dangerous is the state in which the activation of enzymes occurs, which is done under the influence of certain types of food. Therefore, when pancreatitis is so important to adhere to the proper diet and diet. Any chicory normalizes enzymatic activity, reduces inflammation, narrows the duct, tones. Therefore, even the usual soluble chicory, bought in the store, you can drink during pancreatitis.

Chicory for gastritis and pancreatitis

Also one of the common causes of pancreatitis is a blockage of the gallbladder in urolithiasis, which happens in about 70% of cases. But there is other information that is somewhat different from the common view. For example, there is an assumption that only reflux appears, during which a return reflux occurs, trypsin is activated by enterokinase, and the enzyme already acquires lytic properties, as a result of which it can dissolve (lyse) the duct walls. This leads to ulcerative processes and inflammation. This process can be provoked by quite a few factors, which are considered as risk factors, or trigger mechanisms (alcohol intoxication, or exposure to certain drugs, narcotic substances). It also includes inflammation of the digestive tract, comorbidities, overeating, unhealthy diet (consumption of an excessive amount of smoked meat).

Pancreatitis can be a consequence of exacerbations and diseases, for example, exacerbation of gallstone disease, a consequence of poisoning. Often is a concomitant pathology in hepatitis, biliary dyskinesia, and diseases of the duodenum. Sometimes it may be a consequence of surgery, postoperative injury. A certain role is played by genetic predisposition to the development of pathology.

Chicory can and in this case. When gastritis, he relieves pain. When pancreatitis - acts by eliminating etiological factors: eliminates the stagnation of the gallbladder, prevents reflux, protects the walls from lytic properties.

Chicory with exacerbation of pancreatitis

Sometimes exacerbation of pancreatitis is a consequence of a violation of metabolic processes in the body. Chicory normalizes metabolism. Often considered as a complication of hyperlipidemia. The improper functioning of the hormonal system and the mechanisms of enzymatic regulation can also lead to premature activation of pancreatic enzymes, with the result that the premature release of juice leads to chemical ducts burns. A similar picture is observed in all people with hormonal disorders, tension. May develop during pregnancy, postmenopausal, occurs in adolescents due to age-related and degenerative changes in hormonal levels. These properties are also corrected by chicory, which explains its high efficacy in the treatment of exacerbated pancreatitis.

In classical pancreatitis, the onset of pain develops rapidly, progresses. The pain grows quite quickly, acquires paroxysmal character, radiates. Chicory quickly relieves pain. An attack of pancreatitis may be accompanied by agonizing vomiting, collapse. There is bloating, tenderness and tension, cyanosis. The condition may worsen, accompanied by inflammation, necrosis. Appears choking, pathology of the kidneys and liver, hemorrhagic lesions. Sometimes - spots of blue or brown color that appear on the side. To prevent these symptoms, it is recommended to take chicory regularly.

Also, chicory can be recommended after an attack to eliminate its effects and prevent complications. After an attack of pain, chills appear. Pulse can decrease, up to critical values. Often this condition is accompanied by constipation and flatulence. Later jaundice occurs, as one of the consequences of liver damage. Also, jaundice occurs because the bile duct is blocked by swollen tissues or stone.

Regular intake of chicory (for 28 days or more) helps to normalize the blood composition and the main clinical and biochemical parameters. Accompanying symptoms of pancreatitis is the appearance of neutrophilic leukocytosis and a significant increase in the ESR level. In the process of biochemical studies can reveal a significant increase in the level of amylase. These figures increase about 10-30 times.

The only case where chicory cannot help, but can only partially alleviate the condition, relieve pain, swelling, is a serious condition in which an increase in leukocytes and ESR is detected in both urine and human blood. Normalization or even reduction to levels below the normal level of amylase may indicate that the pancreas has undergone necrotic lesions. In combination with ultrasound, echography, revealed heterogeneity, swelling.

Chicory powder with pancreatitis

Almost always, pancreatitis occurs in conjunction with DIC, which is the disseminated vascular coagulation syndrome. Often, premature activation of enzymes leads to autolysis in the body when enzymes begin to lyse the cells and tissues of their own organism. There were also cases in which pancreatitis developed against the background of excessive autoimmune aggression, vascular and tissue pathology, and vascular tone disorder. Practice shows that the use of chicory powder for the treatment of pancreatitis, the risk of vascular pathologies and autolysis is sharply reduced. This is due to the fact that chicory increases the elasticity of blood vessels, maintains optimal pressure, and also maintains a normal level of enzymatic activity.

Observed with antibiotic therapy, steroids, and other hormones, after chemotherapy. It may be the result of some infectious diseases (bacterial, viral genesis). Often acts as an accompanying condition. In this case, the benefit of chicory is that it correlates the microflora. Eliminates dysbiosis.

As for the pathoanatomical picture, one can distinguish the distinctive features: swelling of epithelial tissue, weakness, foci of the inflammatory process are formed. Often as a complication develops phlegmon, thrombophlebitis. To prevent these phenomena, it is necessary to drink chicory.

The benefits and harm of chicory

Chicory allows you to control the pathogenetic state. It also acts as a component that has antibacterial properties, stabilizes the state of enzymes, and maintains an optimal level of enzymatic activity. It acts as a means of preventing pancreatic suppuration. It is recommended to use chicory only when the condition stabilizes.
