Pancreatitis is a disease of the pancreas, during which the cells of the organ are destroyed by their own enzymes. In the exacerbation stage, gland cells are destroyed, and in the remission stage, connective tissue is formed in the place of dead cells. This greatly disrupts the work of the pancreas. The most common causes of pancreatitis are alcoholism and eating disorders, so treatment should start with nutrition.
Nutrition recommendations should be selected individually for each patient based on the severity of the disease, the stage of the disease, food intolerance and accompanying diseases. The following menu for pankteatitis is suitable for the remission period (that is, the period when there is no deterioration) and helps to avoid the next deterioration.
Basic principles of pancreatitis menu:
- The purpose of diet is to improve the work of the pancreas and reduce the load on the digestive system.
- Limit simple carbohydrates-candy, baked goods, sugar. The sugar part is replaced by xylitol or sorbitol. From the allowed sweets-jam, honey, jam.
- Partial diet-5-6 times a day.
- Cooking-steaming, roasting and boiling. It is necessary to wipe meat and vegetables rich in dietary fiber (carrots, broccoli, cabbage, fresh herbs).
- The temperature of the dishes is normal, except for cold dishes.
- During remission, the menu can include vegetable and grain soups in the diet. At the same time, vegetables must be cooked.
- You can use meat, skinless poultry, low-fat fish, cooked and roasted. Don't use offal (liver, kidney, brain), bacon, salted fish, caviar, sausage, canned food.
- Allowed dairy products-cheese (up to 20%), milk, yogurt drinks, sour cream in dishes.
- It is recommended to use eggs in omelet or half-boiled form. It is best not to use fried eggs or hard-boiled eggs.
- In the remission stage of pancreatitis, it is necessary to add a variety of vegetables and fruits to the diet, raw, roasted, boiled, and stewed. During the deterioration period, exclude fresh vegetables and fruits.
- Beverages-light tea, milk coffee, rosehip broth, fruit drinks diluted in half with water, sugar-free fruit juices. Not included-black coffee, cocoa, carbonated drinks.
- Do not use foods that stimulate the digestive system: spinach, sorrel, radishes, turnips, garlic, mushrooms, pickles, and sour fruits.
- Be careful with spicy seasonings-horseradish, mustard, pepper. You can use-dill, parsley, basil, cinnamon.
- Alcohol with pancreatitis is strictly contraindicated.
Pancreatitis can add fresh fruits to the menu below, for example, apples, pears, bananas, peaches, apricots, and non-acidic plums. And supplement the diet with fermented dairy products-kefir, yogurt, yogurt, fermented baked milk.

on Monday

Nutritionist comments:
In order to make sweet pilaf suitable for patients with pancreatitis, please exclude nuts and cranberries from it, and reduce the amount of sugar to 1 tablespoon.
We add vegetables to the soup instead of frying, which can reduce the burden on the pancreas.
Hot spices must be excluded from the recipe.
I recommend choosing milk for cocktails, with a fat content of no more than 2. 5%. As for coffee, it is best to exclude it from the formula. Patients with pancreatitis should not use this product.
You can use either method to make halibut fillets, and both methods are fine to prevent illness. You can choose side dishes with grains, such as boiled buckwheat, or vegetables-broccoli, broccoli, potatoes, zucchini, etc. Choose a vegetable cooking method that does not obscure the taste of the fish or cause discomfort, for example, boiling or steaming the vegetables.
