Diet for pancreatitis

Pancreatitis is a disease in which the pancreas is inflamed.It plays a major role in the digestive system - it regulates energy metabolism, synthesizes digestive juices and is responsible for the breakdown of carbohydrates.

Enzymes first enter the stomach, then the duodenum, and then the duodenum, where they begin to activate.If the pancreas is inflamed, enzymes begin to "work" at an early stage - that is, even before secretion.Damage appears - the glands begin to self-digest, which causes the death of some pancreatic cells.

Causes of pancreatitis can be:

• infectious diseases not related to the digestive system - for example, seasonal acute respiratory viral infections;
• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
• poor nutrition;
• Stress;
• alcohol abuse.

Pancreatitis can develop in several forms - acute, reactive and chronic.In acute cases, the pancreas can be completely or partially ventilated;Against the background of diseases of the reactive digestive system - peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, gall bladder or liver.

The chronic form can be in remission for a long time, and in most cases the disease progresses slowly.In most cases, inflammation starts again when the diet is disrupted.

The nature of nutrition in pancreatitis of the pancreas plays a big role - it is impossible to prevent exacerbation without sticking to a special diet.What are these diets and what principles are used to create a menu for pancreatitis?

Principles of nutrition for inflammation of the pancreas

The main principle of creating a diet that normalizes the activity of the pancreas is to minimize the load on the digestive system.

During separation, doctors give the following advice to adults: "Hunger, cold and rest".If the patient is in the hospital and in the acute stage of pancreatitis, it is recommended to refuse food for 2-3 days, and useful substances - salts and liquids - enter the body by drops.If you fast at home, it is impossible to fully ensure the normal water and electrolyte balance.You need and can drink, but in small portions.

Even adults need to increase their food reserves.Specially designed diets come to the rescue.The most "tested" of them is table number 5.

The principles of this diet:

• create the most delicate conditions for the stomach and intestines - use mechanical and chemical emptying;
• eliminate pancreatic dysfunction;
• prevents negative changes in liver tissue - fatty infiltration;
• reduce the excitability of the gallbladder.

The diet should be followed not only during the treatment of the disease, but also for another year after it is brought into remission.

The main features of the diet in the treatment of pancreatitis:

• In the daily menu, you should limit the number of substances that have a production effect - they stimulate the production of pancreatic enzymes:
1. refractory oils;
2. purines;
3. essential oils;
4. cholesterol;
5. coarse fiber;
6. glucose.
• The nature of the diet - foods with high protein content, reducing the amount of carbohydrates and fats.
• Cooking technology - boiling, steaming, foil, baking, cooking.
• Fractional meals - up to 6 times a day, in small portions.You should get up from the table with a feeling of nutrition, so as not to overwhelm the pancreas.
• For the first time after an operation, you can eat only pure foods.
• You should temporarily give up spices, including salt;
• You cannot eat hot or cold food;Food should be heated to approximately body temperature - 36 ° C.

Drinking regime is limited.You can drink as much as you want only when the urge to vomit has completely subsided.

There is no need to be afraid of dietary restrictions in the first days after an attack - fasting during treatment is only useful.
