Pancreatitis is a disease of the pancreas, during which the cells of the organ are destroyed by its own enzymes. In the exacerbation phase, the gland cells are destroyed, in the remission phase, connective tissue is formed in the place of the dead cells. This greatly disrupts the work of the pancreas. The most common causes of pancreatitis are alcohol abuse and eating disorders, and therefore treatment should be started with nutrition.
Nutritional recommendations for each patient should be selected individually, depending on the severity of the condition, phase of the disease, food intolerance, concomitant diseases. The menu below for pankteatitis is suitable for the remission phase (that is, for the period when there is no exacerbation), and will help to avoid the next exacerbation.
