The pancreas is a fairly important human organ. It works in order to normalize the work of metabolic processes, as well as for the production of insulin. Pancreatic inflammation, or pancreatitis, is now a common disease that goes into chronic form very quickly.
The basic rules of treatment
Pancreatic inflammation requires complex treatment. This is not only drug therapy, but also diet. If the disease goes into a chronic form, then it is practically impossible to treat. Therefore, try at the first signs of inflammation to take appropriate measures:
Refuse alcohol and smoking. These two factors have a huge negative effect on the functioning of the pancreas.
Exclude fatty foods from the diet.
Do not eat foods that contain carcinogens, GMOs and dyes.
Do not eat much. Food should be fractional.
Sometimes do fasting days.
Diet
If you have pancreatic inflammation, your diet should be strict. It is especially important to monitor your diet during an exacerbation, when pancreatitis makes itself felt with severe pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In this case, you need to refuse food for a day, but you must drink. The stomach must free itself from food debris in order to stop irritating the gland. If you have vomiting, then try to drink more mineral non-carbonated water.
On the second day, it is allowed to drink some fresh kefir or fermented baked milk. Cook the chicken stock, eat it with homemade crackers.
On the third day, drink stewed fruit, broths of wild rose. Mashed potatoes in milk. And only after the seventh day you can include the same products in the diet, just do it gradually, starting with light dishes - low-fat beef, steam cutlets, boiled vegetables.
In chronic pancreatitis, such a diet should be observed regularly.
Food
Nutrition for inflammation of the pancreas should be sparing. It should be excluded from the diet:
Milk.
Fried foods.
Butter.
Pasta.
Flour products.
Sweet products (sweets).
Carbonated drinks.
Coffee.
Apples, oranges, tomatoes (allowed only boiled).
Manku, millet.
Food should consist of the following foods:
Boiled vegetables.

Mashed potatoes.
Boiled meat is beef without fat or chicken.

Such a diet must be strictly observed in acute pancreatitis. Remember that inflammation of the pancreas is not a joke. It requires compulsory treatment. If the disease is started, then the body may refuse to work, which threatens with very sad consequences.
When is medical attention required?
At the first sign of pancreatitis, it is better to consult a doctor. He will do an ultrasound to determine the extent of the disease. If pancreatic inflammation is detected, a specialist will prescribe enzymes that will help normalize the work of the body. The course of treatment is about a month.
