Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. This gland plays a very huge role in the human body, highlighting enzymes that help normal digestion and, most importantly, what you should not forget is insulin. He is responsible for maintaining the level of sugar in the blood.
Like pancreatitis, cholecystitis is also an inflammation, only, in this case, it is an inflammation of the gallbladder. An extremely important internal organ necessary for the digestion of food. Inflammation occurs on the background of stagnation of bile in the organ. This disease is most often affected by women, which is associated with taking oral contraceptives, as well as pregnancy. To date, cholecystitis is the most common disease of the abdominal cavity.
These diseases are paired, most often they occur at a time. Accordingly, the treatment that is prescribed may be similar.
Symptoms of pancreatitis and cholecystitis
These two diseases have similar symptoms:
- acute pain. It is so strong that the patient can be in the hospital in the shortest possible time;
- high body temperature;
- increase or decrease in blood pressure;
- change of complexion;
- sharpening of the face;
- nausea;
- vomiting.
I want to focus on the fact that these diseases are "younger".If you suspect any of these diseases, the patient must undergo a series of medical examinations. The most important is ultrasound diagnosis - ultrasound.
Causes of diseases
Diseases can have the following reasons:
- obesity;
- hereditary factors;
- a sedentary lifestyle;
- reception of hormonal preparations;
- decreased immunity;
- presence of intestinal parasites( ascarids);
- improper nutrition( fatty, spicy, salty, fried);
- alcohol abuse, smoking;
- pregnancy. Often, the disease manifests itself before or during childbearing.
Treatment is extremely important to start immediately, in no case do self-medication. Otherwise, the disease can go into a chronic form.
Diet
Nutrition for pancreatitis and cholecystitis is an important and basic part of treatment. If the patient does not adhere to the menu, then the medicines can simply be discarded. This can be explained by the fact that both organs take the main part in digestion processes. Depending on the process of inflammation( it can be acute or chronic), you need either to provide rest for a certain period of time, or to stimulate their work , but you need to do it very delicately. In the first days of the disease, when the pain is particularly acute, it is necessary to give up food, it is important to comply with the drinking regime. Of no little importance is the amount of fluid that is drunk to the sick - you should try to consume up to three liters of clean water a day.
Prohibited products
- freshly baked bread. In such bread, the process of fermentation is not yet complete. In tsarist Russia, there was a ban on the sale of bread earlier than four hours after it was baked;
- mushrooms, ears, rich meat broths, borsch. Soups are best prepared on light vegetable broths;
- fish( smoked and fried), caviar;
- fatty meat, fat, by-products, fat;
- beans, cabbage( cause excessive fermentation and gas formation in the intestine);
- chocolate, ice cream, tea, alcoholic beverages, coffee;
- salt( should not exceed 11 grams per day);
- eggs fried and generally all fried;
- products containing fragrances, artificial colors and preservatives. On the shelves of shops you can hardly find products without the above chemical additives. Therefore, the number of patients with pancreatitis and cholecystitis is steadily increasing. Especially one should not be allowed to eat such products to children, in order not to wonder why a ten-year-old child had pancreatitis.
Authorized products
- unlike pies( with sweet and not fat filling);bread, slightly dried in the oven;
- biscuits, sweet cracker;
- porridge, cooked on diluted milk milk in a ratio of 1: 1;
- fish steamed meatballs;fish baked in the oven;
- kefir, fermented baked milk, low-fat cottage cheese.
- hard-boiled chicken or quail eggs;
- occasionally you can afford to eat boiled sausage, but do not abuse it!
- pie from sprouted oats. For this, the grains are picked, soaked in a small amount of water and put in a warm place for germination. The next day you can see that the oats sprouted. It is washed, a little dried and then ground in a mill. After, the flour is baked with cold water, put on the fire and boiled for a few minutes( 2-3).Then, jelly should steep for 20 minutes. After, it is filtered and drunk. It should be noted that it is necessary to prepare the jelly immediately before consumption, in no case in advance.
General recommendations for food intake are similar to the usual: there are, very thoroughly chewing food, the last reception 3 hours before bedtime. If, however, a famine arises, it is quenched by drinking one glass of kefir or milk.
After the exacerbation has passed, it is recommended to adhere to a diet of at least a minimum.
A patient with pancreatitis or cholecystitis should remember the following:
- The diet for pancreatitis and cholecystitis should be delicate and gentle. Is recommended often, but the portions themselves should be small. This is done in order to minimize the burden on the pancreas.
- It is necessary to consume up to 3 liters of clean drinking water per day.
- The diet should be dominated by proteins, and fats with carbohydrates should be minimized.
- To exclude canned food, smoked products, spicy and so on.
- Soups to cook on water, without frying onions and carrots on vegetable oil.
- Eat vegetable fats( sunflower, corn, linseed, olive and other similar oils).
This is the essence of the diet number 5, developed by a dietician, Mikhail Pevzner.
The diet menu is composed to run natural mechanisms in the body: motor function of the intestine, bile secretion, excretion of cholesterol.
A man eats to live, and not vice versa, he lives to eat. On the menu, do not get hung up, just ask your family not to seduce the forbidden products, change the position of life - you now eat healthy food and it's wonderful! Life goes on and it's great that there is no pain in it!
Last advice: if the patient approaches his health responsibly, and most importantly - adheres to the menu, follows all the recommendations of the doctor, he will soon get rid of the disease, and in the chronic course of the disease will significantly reduce the number of exacerbations.
