Diet for acute pancreatitis

Severe and prolonged inflammation of the pancreas can sometimes lead to diabetes. Take care of yourself, do not allow errors in your diet. When you are in the hospital for the first days after the attack, you will not be given food at all. This is necessary to spare the gland as much as possible.

Why do people get acute pancreatitis? The thing is that our national tradition is to have lavish feasts with alcohol, lots of fried food, and picnics with lamb shashlik on holidays. We often eat on the go, at McDonald's. All this overstrains the pancreas and one day an attack with severe pain occurs. The disease is promoted by an ulcer.

On the 6th day, the diet is expanded by adding jelly, liquid porridge, and steamed chicken cutlets.

Smoked foods, marinades, lard, and baked goods are excluded until the age of one year.

[ 17 ], [ 18 ]

Diet for exacerbation of pancreatitis

The dietary table is maximally gentle on the pancreas. On the first day, warmed Borjomi mineral water, rosehip decoction, and tea are allowed.

On the 3rd day, you can expand your diet: add slimy soups, milk jelly, and liquid porridges without oil.

When the pains disappear, follow the unstrained, expanded version of the diet. But still, for a very long time, up to a year, you cannot eat anything fried, fatty, or any pastries or baked goods.

[ 19 ], [ 20 ], [ 21 ]

Diet for pancreatitis in children

The diet table should not interfere with their proper growth and development. Feed the child often, in small portions.

Pay attention to lean meats: veal, chicken, turkey.

During an exacerbation of pancreatitis, prepare a steamed protein omelet for your child, and during remission, a steamed omelet from a whole egg.

A child with pancreatitis needs natural low-fat cottage cheese. It contains calcium, which is so necessary for bone growth. Children love delicious homemade cottage cheese casseroles with carrots, apricots, and apples. Apples can also be baked – in this case, they also help with anemia.

Buy butter in 100g packs and use it only in dishes. Children with pancreatitis do not tolerate butter spread on bread.

The ideal soup for a child with a sick pancreas is a vegetable soup, mashed in a blender. In winter, you can use frozen vegetable sets.

Eliminate pork and duck from your baby's menu. Do not give sausages, marinades and mushrooms, fried fish, cocoa, chocolate, turnips, radishes, legumes and Ukrainian bread.

Healthy vegetables: carrots, zucchini, potatoes, beets. Serve them mashed and boiled. Add cauliflower, not cabbage, to soups.

You can sometimes give your child marshmallows and milk candies, but only in small amounts.

Heavy metal poisoning often occurs in hazardous industries, after which workers are diagnosed with reactive pancreatitis. In women, the cause of pancreatitis may be taking contraceptives.
