Pancreatitis is a disease of the pancreas, in which the cells of the organ are destroyed by its own enzymes. In the phase of exacerbation, glandular cells are destroyed, in the phase of remission, connective tissue is formed in place of dead cells. This greatly disrupts the work of the pancreas. The most common causes of pancreatitis are alcohol abuse and eating disorders, which is why treatment should begin with nutrition.
Nutritional recommendations for each patient should be selected individually, depending on the severity of the condition, phase of disease, food intolerance and concomitant diseases. The menu below for pankteatitis is suitable for the phase of remission (that is, the period when there is no exacerbation) and will help to avoid the next exacerbation.
The basic principles of the menu for pancreatitis:
