Diet for such a person with pancreatitis begins no earlier than 4 days (before that, only complete starvation).
According to the generally accepted dietary classification, used in hospitals, the proper nutrition for pancreatitis is the #5 Penza diet. Food should be divided into small portions 5-6 times a day, excluding snacks between main meals.
The essence of the diet is to refuse all foods that increase the production of acid in the stomach and stimulate the active activity of pancreatic enzymes. After an exacerbation of the disease, doctors especially recommend following a diet for a long time - at least 8 months.
General recommendations
The right pancreatitis diet every day is important to prevent attacks, or at least reduce their severity.
- With acute pancreatitis or an exacerbation of the chronic form, all food should be mashed, boiled or steamed to ensure maximum gastric emptying.
- It is better to steam the food - this will preserve the nutrients and not harm the body. Food should be divided into small portions about 5-6 times a day.
- Overeating is not allowed as this creates not only an increased load on the pancreas but also on the entire digestive tract in general.
- Do not eat food that is too hot or cold, the food must be warm. The optimal temperature is 20 - 50 °.
Food for people with pancreatitis should be nutritious, increasing the amount of protein but reducing the amount of fat and carbohydrates (especially sugar) to prevent the liver from degenerating into fatty liver and the development of diabetes.
