Diet for pancreatic disease

Diet for diseases of the pancreas or other organs of the digestive system is an integral stage of effective treatment of the acute period and prevention of further exacerbations. Patients are prescribed diet number 5.

The pancreas secretes gastric juice, which is necessary for digesting food, and it also contains special cells that secrete insulin, which is needed to absorb glucose.

In the acute period of pancreatic disease, mechanical food intake is contraindicated in the first 3-5 days. You can only drink warm mineral water with a small percentage of alkali. The main nutrition is carried out intravenously - the patient is dripped with special nutrient solutions. In addition, it is recommended to apply cold compresses to the location of the gland. Cold reduces the secretion of juice, and the inflammatory process subsides.

As soon as the pain syndrome decreases, you can start drinking half a glass of yogurt every half hour, and after another day you can have cottage cheese, and after another 2 days boiled chopped products. Over time, the list of permitted products expands, but fatty, spicy, salty, pickled and fried foods are prohibited. In the chronic course of the disease, the diet should be followed constantly, you can eat stewed, baked, boiled dishes, fermented milk products, vegetables, fruits, cereals, but in small portions.

Diet for exacerbation of pancreatic diseases

The diet for exacerbation of pancreatic diseases is primarily aimed at reducing the mechanical and chemical load on the pancreas. In the first days of the acute course of the disease, cold, hunger and rest are indicated. That is, fasting, cold compresses on the pancreas and strict bed rest. You can only drink half a glass of warm mineral water without gas, a little weak rosehip decoction, weakly brewed unsweetened tea.

On the 3rd-4th day, after the acute attack has been stopped, a light, gentle diet is prescribed. It consists of mucous soups, strained liquid porridges, vegetable purees, and jelly. All dishes should be liquid or semi-liquid, boiled, strained or steamed. The diet is similar in nature to the menu for peptic ulcer disease, but with inflammation of the pancreas, a little milk is used and the number of eggs in the daily diet is limited.

Later, after 1-2 weeks, after the condition has stabilized, diet No. 5 in pureed form is recommended. As soon as the abdominal pains completely disappear, and the temperature normalizes, intestinal disorders disappear, you can switch to an unpureed diet.

There is no need to stick to a strict gentle diet in the future, but in order not to provoke new attacks of the disease, some foods should be abandoned once and for all.
