Improper diet, stress and bad habits can trigger inflammation of the pancreas. This is a serious disease that requires not only complex treatment, but also correct dietary correction. A strict diet for pancreatitis is an integral part of the fight against the disease.
General principles of diet for pancreatitis
Pancreatitis can manifest itself spontaneously and bring a person great discomfort (acute form) or have a latent and sluggish character (chronic stage). Leaks differ among themselves not only in clinical symptoms, but also in food characteristics.
In acute pancreatitis, it is recommended to fast for several days. This is necessary to give the body a state of rest, and reduce the focus of inflammation in the tissues.
You can start eating on day 4 after the acute symptoms of the disease have subsided (severe pain, nausea, vomiting and profuse diarrhea). In chronic pancreatitis, it is important to stick to a diet. This will help prevent exacerbations and achieve long-term remission.
In addition, you must adhere to the general principles of nutrition:
- Food steam heat treatment. This will help preserve all the useful components of the food.
- Fractional nutrition (up to 5 times a day in small doses) - reduces the load on a weakened digestive system.
- It is important to eat warm food.
- Before eating, the food should be crushed to a liquid consistency.
It is important to avoid snacking throughout the day. Enough main meal. Better to drink more tea or warm water. This will help flush toxins out of the body and reduce stomach discomfort.

With inflammation of the pancreas, doctors attribute the patient's nutrition according to the generally accepted dietary classification - table 5. The patient eats only healthy foods and completely refuses foods that provoke the production of acid in the gastric juice and stimulate an increase in the work of enzymes in a weakened organ.
