It is rather difficult to give up old eating habits after finding pancreatitis. On the other hand, the patient's state of health and the number of exacerbations and attacks with which all patients with pancreatitis are familiar depend on the correctness of the diet.
Diet during illness
The pancreas bright enough enough reacts to non-observance of a diet - the painful syndrome only amplifies, and the desire something is disappears at all. In order not to cause irritation of the inflamed glands of the gland, it is recommended to follow the general rules that can be avoided in pancreatitis:
- Do not overeat, eat small portions;
- The meals should be frequent, up to six times a day;
- Proteins should predominate in the diet;
- It is necessary to reduce the amount of fats and carbohydrates;
- Excluded from the diet products that cause the separation of bile;
- In case of exacerbation of the pain, fasting is prescribed within a day or two.
These rules obey the diet number 5 according to Pevzner, which is prescribed to all patients without exception with pancreatitis. Table number five has certain recommendations, and restrictions on food intake, including the use of crackers in pancreatitis.
What can be useful for crackers
There is no need to replace them with any flour products, determining their useful qualities. Nevertheless, they still have some benefits:
- They contain vitamins B, H and PP, which are useful, in particular, for the work of the nervous system and gastrointestinal tract;
- Rusks are easy to digest, unlike fresh bread, which provokes gas formation and fermentation in the intestines;
- Crackers will be a good source of carbohydrates and protein.
Someone likes to add them to mashed potatoes, someone - in soup or borsch, someone prefers to eat in a pure form or sweet to tea. Variations of even such a simple product can be many, but not all of them are resolved with the disease of the pancreas.
Crackles when exacerbating
During an attack and during rehabilitation after it, the patient is banned from absolutely any food, including biscuits. In the first day at all, only water and a weak broth of wild rose are allowed.
Only after two weeks the doctor can allow you to eat rusks, but with any liquid - kefir, tea, soup. In this form they do not mechanically damage the walls of the esophagus, stomach and intestines. Therefore, they are thoroughly soaked before consumption.
It is worth noting that only wheat bread is allowed to be consumed. As for biscuits, rye, spicy, and even more succulent seasonings, which are sold in stores - they are prohibited in pancreatitis.
During remission of
With remission, crackers can be a good alternative to bread, or confectionery to tea. It is recommended to stop on wheaten croutons, but not rich. It is best to do them yourself, drying in a toaster or oven.
It is also possible to enter confectionery rusks with the addition of dried apricots, raisins, sesame seeds. All other types of crackers even during the remission are strictly prohibited.
To dry the bread yourself, it is enough to cut it into slices and place them in the oven for 5-7 minutes. Without the oven in the open air, they dry out for three days.
If you want to buy ready-made crackers in the store, pay attention to their composition. The packaging must be inscribed that they are made of wheat loaf. If the composition contains flavors, dyes, thickeners, preservatives, spicy seasonings and flavor enhancers, the purchase should be discarded in order to avoid an attack of pancreatitis after ingestion.
The packaging will indicate approximately the composition of the product: 11 grams of protein, 67 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fat, 330 kcal per hundred grams.
What bread can
Allowed bread and, accordingly, crackers from it, should be sparing for the gland and the walls of the stomach. You can consume it no more than two hundred grams a day.
Gray bread, unleavened, cooked on peeled varieties of wheat, is considered to be allowed. It is worth paying attention to that the unleavened bread on the leaven of hop can cause choleretic effect and harm with biliary pancreatitis. It is also allowed to eat Armenian lavash.
During remission, it is allowed to add to this list diet breads, crumbs with bran, and also low in gluten.
What bread is not possible
Pevsner's diet for patients with pancreatic inflammation does not always adhere strictly to the original recommendations. Given the characteristics of the course of the disease, secondary chronic diseases, anamnesis and clinical picture, a gastroenterologist or nutritionist can adjust the Pevzner table for each individual patient.
Some patients independently investigate the influence of certain products on their health by introducing foods into the diet with small dosages and observing the situation. Such behavior with the right approach can be useful, but there are such products that should be excluded in any case and in any clinical picture, in particular:
- Baking from buttery dough;
- Loaves and bricks of the highest grade;
- Any bread that is freshly baked and still warm;
- Shortbread and any pastry from it, whether it is salty or sweet.
Of course, lovers of muffins and sand cakes from time to time do not deny themselves this pleasure, introducing in the meal small portions, but it should be done very rarely and with the confidence that, in case of an attack, it has something to stop.
Conclusion
All nutrition recommendations, including those concerning the use of rusks, are common, since the final menu will depend on the recommendations of the gastroenterologist. Since they are made individually, it is recommended that they follow, and if the doctor prohibits the use of any bakery products, it is better to follow his advice.
