Pancreatitis is a disease of the pancreas, in which the cells of an organ are destroyed by its own enzymes. In the exacerbation phase, the glandular cells are destroyed, in the remission phase, connective tissue is formed where the cells die. This greatly interferes with the work of the pancreas. The most common causes of pancreatitis are alcohol abuse and eating disorders, and therefore treatment should begin with nutrition.
Nutritional recommendations for each patient should be selected individually, depending on the severity of the condition, disease phase, food intolerance, and concomitant illness. The menu below for pancteatitis is appropriate for the remission phase (i. e. , for periods when there are no exacerbations), and will help to prevent subsequent exacerbations.
Basic principles of the menu for pancreatitis:
- The purpose of the diet is to improve the work of the pancreas, to reduce the burden on the digestive system.
- Restriction of moderate carbohydrates - sweets, baked goods, sugar. Sugar is partially replaced by xylitol or sorbitol. Of the allowed sweets - marmalade, honey, jam.
- Fractional diet - 5-6 times a day.
