Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) is associated with severe pain. If left untreated, the disease becomes chronic, for which frequent irritations are typical. Diet for pancreatic pancreatitis is a must. It is the observance of the principles of medical nutrition that significantly reduces the risk of developing an attack.
Characteristics of the diet
Diet for pancreatic pancreatitis has its own characteristics. The main task of the diet is to reduce the activity of the organ. How to eat with pancreatitis, so as not to worsen your health? The main principles are:
- complete rejection of fatty or fried foods and sweets;
- lack of high-fiber foods in the diet;
- only cooking and steaming methods are used in the cooking process;
- partial diet - food intake is carried out in six to seven meals in small portions;
- the food served should be mashed or finely minced.
During the day, the patient should consume at least 2 liters of each fluid.
Acute nutrition
The diet for acute pancreatitis helps eliminate the severe symptoms of an attack. Its purpose is to stop the production of pancreatic fluid containing digestive enzymes. It is achieved by refusing to eat (in the first days) and observing bed rest.
What can you eat with pancreatitis during this period? In the first one to three days after the onset of the attack - depending on the severity of the patient's condition - complete starvation will be recommended. Only drinking is allowed: alkaline mineral water, a decoction of wild rose berries, poorly sweetened tea, water. After stabilizing the condition and eliminating the pain syndrome, patients are assigned a diet chart.
After stopping the attack, food should be partial - up to 8 times a day. The initial portion size is not more than 50-100 grams. Since the low-calorie diet practiced during this period does not meet physiological norms, it is quite short: no more than 7 days. All used products are boiled, and the dishes are served warm and have a semi-liquid consistency.
| day | Allowed Products |
|---|---|
| First | Puree porridge, slippery cereal soup (millet and corn are forbidden), vegetable stew, poorly brewed teas with the addition of granulated sugar, compote, homemade crackers, fruit jelly and jelly. |
| Secondly | |
| Third | Cottage cheese dishes: soufflés, puddings, pasta, steam omelet. |
| Fourthly | Milk porridge. |
| E pesta | Soup with meat puree. |
| Sixth | Butter (small amount), vegetable puree (cabbage is prohibited). |
| Seventh | Meat or fish souffle. |
The patient is then transferred to a basic diet, the variety of which depends on the presence of concomitant diseases. If we talk about which table is assigned most often, then this is the number 5P. The diet for acute inflammation of the pancreas lasts 6-12 months.
Food therapy for the chronic form
For patients with chronic pancreatitis, diet is a lifelong obligation, as any mistake in nutrition can cause a worsening of the pathology. Any attack of the disease is accompanied by partial replacement of functional tissues with fibrous ones, which eventually leads to the development of insufficiency of the secretory function of the gland.
During the period of deterioration of the chronic form of pancreatitis, accompanied by severe pathological symptoms, the patient is prescribed a strict 7-day diet as in the acute form. After improving health, the patient is transferred to the diet in accordance with table no. 5 P.
Its main features:
- dishes served at the table should be carefully wiped or chopped;
- the content of proteins, fats and carbohydrates meets the physiological needs of the body;
- with poor quality assimilation of proteins, its percentage decreases due to an increase in carbohydrate content;
- Products containing fiber and extractives are completely excluded;
- the amount of salt is limited to 6 grams per day;
- partial meals - up to 6 times a day;
- overeating is unacceptable.
