Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) is accompanied by severe pain. If left untreated, the disease becomes chronic and usually worsens frequently. Pancreatitis diet is a must. Adhering to the principles of medical nutrition can significantly reduce the risk of seizures.
Diet characteristics
The nutrition of pancreatitis has its characteristics. The main task of diet is to reduce organ activity. How to eat pancreatitis so as not to worsen your health? The main principles are:
- Refuse greasy or fried foods and sweets altogether;
- Lack of crude fiber food in the diet;
- In the cooking process, only boiling and steaming methods are used;
- Partial diet-food intake is divided into six to seven meals in small portions;
- The food served must be pureed or chopped.
During the day, the patient must consume at least 2 liters of any liquid.
Acute nutrition
The diet of acute pancreatitis helps to eliminate the severe symptoms of the attack. Its purpose is to stop the production of pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes. It is achieved by refusing to eat (in the first few days) and insisting on bed rest.
What can I eat during pancreatitis? In the first one to three days after the attack-depending on the severity of the patient's condition-the patient will be advised to starve completely. Only allowed to drink: alkaline mineral water, wild rose berry decoction, weakly brewed sugar-free tea, water. After stabilizing the condition and eliminating the pain syndrome, the patient was assigned a diet chart.
After stopping the attack, the food should be fractional-up to 8 times a day. The initial weight does not exceed 50-100 grams. Since the low-calorie diet implemented during this period does not meet physiological norms, the time is very short: no more than 7 days. All the products used are boiled, and the dishes are warm and have a semi-liquid consistency.
| sky | Allowed products |
|---|---|
| First | Mashed rice porridge, slimy grain soup (millet and corn grits are prohibited), vegetable decoction, weak tea with sugar, candied fruit, homemade biscuits, jelly and jelly. |
| second | |
| third | Cheese dishes: souffle, pudding, pasta, steam omelet. |
| fourth | Milk porridge. |
| fifth | Meat soup. |
| sixth | Butter (a small amount), vegetable puree (no cabbage). |
| seventh | Meat or fish souffle. |
The patient is then transferred to a basic diet, the type of which depends on the presence of the accompanying disease. If we talk about which table is allocated most often, then this is the number 5P. The diet for acute inflammation of the pancreas lasts for 6-12 months.
Nutritional treatment of chronic diseases
For patients with chronic pancreatitis, dieting is a lifelong obligation, because any nutritional error will make the condition worse. Each attack of the disease is accompanied by partial replacement of functional tissues by fibrous tissues, which ultimately leads to insufficient secretory function of the glands.
During the exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis, accompanied by severe pathological symptoms, the patient was prescribed a strict 7-day diet as in acute pancreatitis. After improving his health, the patient switched to a diet according to Table 5P.
Its main features:
- The dishes on the table must be wiped or carefully chopped;
- The content of protein, fat and carbohydrate meets the physiological needs of the human body;
- The quality of protein assimilation is poor, and its percentage decreases due to the increase in carbohydrate content;
- Completely exclude products containing fiber and extracts;
- The amount of salt is limited to 6 grams per day;
- Split meals-up to 6 times a day;
- Overeating is unacceptable.
