For a disease like pancreatitis, there is a strong inflammation in the pancreas. This disease usually passes extremely hard. Usually, in addition to medicines, a person who has pancreatitis or cholecystitis is found to follow a special diet. And the rejection of a number of products helps to remove inflammation and promotes the fastest cure.
However, not always patients know what to include in their diet, and from what types of food must be abandoned for a while at all. Different types of diets and with different forms of pancreatitis and cholecystitis.
About what you can eat with pancreatitis, and what foods and drinks should be discarded, will be described below.
Acute form of pancreatitis: features of the
- menu. Nutrition in this disease implies the presence in the diet of a large number of foods rich in proteins, and almost complete exclusion from the diet of those foods in which there are many carbohydrates and fats.

- In acute pancreatitis, a large amount of fluid should be consumed( if urination is within normal range).Its daily volume should be in the range of 1.5 liters per day, and it is best to drink mineral alkaline water - narzan, Borjomi, etc. Large volumes of such liquid help to suppress the release of pancreatic juice into the digestive system, reduce pain in the area of the inflamed gland, remove toxic substances from the body of the patient.
- And in the first two days after the onset of acute pancreatitis, doctors recommend almost complete abstinence from food, especially if the patient has severe pain in the pancreas. Such a "hungry" diet is necessary in order to reduce the burden on the inflamed gland, so as not to increase the secretion of juice.
- Food used in pancreatitis should be boiled or baked, and in no case fried. It can be fish dishes( from low-fat fish), poultry meat, beef. These allowed products should be in the diet of about 100 - 120 grams per day.

- Meat should not be fatty( only beef or chicken), eggs only in the form of a steamed omelette, various dishes on milk, cottage cheese( not sour), various puddings, cereal cereals constitute the main food for this disease.

- Soups should be either cereal( mucous enough), or you can eat thick soups of puree from vegetables and seafood.
