Pear, as a fruit tree, is common in many garden areas. By popularity it is bypassed only by the apple tree. Pears are used in many dishes, canned, cooked compotes and decoctions, just eaten raw. Can I eat pears with pancreatitis, and what are the useful properties they have?
Exacerbation of pancreatitis
On the seventh-eighth day after the last attack of pancreatitis, a limited amount of fruit is allowed in the patient's diet. Most often this apple is in the amount of one piece per day. Fruits must be multi-grade, non-acidic, wiped and baked in the oven.
Pear fruits have a lower acid concentration than apples. Nevertheless, in pears there are stony cells - in fact, these are lignified cells with a hard shell, in which chemical compounds can be cumulated.
In such cells lime is collected from calcium carbonate, kutin - as one of the varieties of wax, indigestible by the human stomach. In addition, the pears can contain silicon dioxide.
Chewing on the pear, you can feel some graininess, caused by these components in the composition. They are quite heavy for digestion in the human gastrointestinal tract, even when speaking of a healthy tract. Therefore, with acute pancreatitis, pears can not be eaten.
