Fruits for pancreatitis

To restore the function of the inflamed pancreas is possible only by adhering to a special diet. For patients with pancreatitis, a dietary table No. 5p has been developed, as the acute condition subsides, it is replaced with a diet No. 5 with less strict nutritional rules. Diets include sparing the diseased organ, protecting the digestive system from rough, spicy, sour, fatty, too hot or cold food. At the same time, the body must receive the necessary nutrients, vitamins and minerals, which is fully consistent with fruits.

Raw fruits for pancreatitis

Of the variety of fruit crops, not all of their fruits can be consumed by people with this pathology. The main task is to protect the pancreas from coarse fibers in their composition, aggressive acids. Some of them are not suitable raw, but are acceptable after heat treatment. What kind of raw fruits can and cannot be used for pancreatitis , taking into account the fact that exacerbations completely exclude their consumption. We are talking only about a period of stable remission.

Peaches for pancreatitis

The juicy fragrant fruit contains vitamins A, C, E. PP, H, B1, B2, B5, B6, folic acid, a large list of minerals, including magnesium, potassium, calcium, iodine, iron, etc.

They improve appetite, intestinal motility, strengthen the walls of blood vessels, increase hemoglobin, create a cheerful mood. [1]

Patients with pancreatitis should choose ripe juicy fruits, peel them first, eat as desserts after the main meal. A reasonable daily allowance is half a large or one medium fruit. You can also prepare juice from them by diluting it halfway with water.

Nectarines for pancreatitis

Nectarines are a type of peach. They are distinguished by a completely smooth skin, like a plum. In terms of their qualities, they are similar to their "relative". The low sugar content makes it suitable for diabetics, unlike peach.

Nectarine is famous for its ability to cleanse the body of waste products; it is a well-known antioxidant that accelerates cell renewal, which is very important when they are damaged in the pancreas. [2]

There is even a short diet on nectarines, which allows you to unload the body and lose some excess weight, but it is for healthy people. Pancreatitis limits fruit intake, as does peach.

Plums for pancreatitis

Citric, malic, oxalic, succinic, ascorbic - all these acids are present in the plum and become an obstacle in the acute phase of the disease. [3]

A clear improvement and a steady absence of symptoms allows you to eat raw plums, but not more than 3-4 pieces per day, peeled. It is not worth abandoning them completely, because. Their chemical composition allows you to remove toxins and toxins, lower cholesterol, prevents thrombosis, strengthens blood vessels, and eliminates constipation.

Pears with pancreatitis

The advantage of a pear over the fruits described above is that it is available for sale throughout the winter period and, if many people ignore it in summer because of the abundance of other fruits, then in winter it returns to its well-deserved popularity. [4]

With pancreatitis, pears could have no restrictions (their acidity is much lower than apples), if it were not for the presence of stony cells in them - sclereids. Dead cells are characterized by the ability to accumulate lime, cutin (a type of wax), strong silicon dioxide crystals.

All this makes the pear a heavy food, even baking or boiling does not save the situation. It is best to completely exclude them from your menu.

Dates for pancreatitis

Having many useful compounds in its composition, sweet oriental fruits have a beneficial effect on the nervous and cardiovascular systems, improve sleep, strengthen immunity, resist inflammatory and infectious diseases, and accelerate the regeneration of cells of a damaged organ. [5]

The negative side of this fruit for the pancreas can be attributed to a large amount of glucose, which causes increased secretion of insulin. This additionally loads the endocrine part of it.

And yet, in the developed nutrition system for such a pathology, dates are on the list of allowed foods, they can replace harmful fast carbohydrates. A stable state of health allows you to eat up to a dozen ripe and soft fruits a day.

Avocado for pancreatitis

Avocado is a newfangled fruit that has gained popularity in various culinary recipes in recent years. It is used in salads, sauces, it goes well with meat, fish, seafood, so it can serve as a side dish for them.

It is actively promoted by nutritionists, relying on a high content of essential vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals.

Potassium in its composition strengthens the heart muscle, copper and iron are involved in hematopoiesis, unsaturated fatty acids normalize fat metabolism, cholesterol, dietary fiber promote the reproduction of beneficial microflora, eliminate constipation. [6]

With pancreatitis, an obstacle to unlimited consumption of the fetus is its high fat content, which is difficult for the diseased gland to cope with. Fiber can also cause a lot of trouble associated with bloating, heaviness in it, and flatulence.

Only 2 months after the exacerbation, you can introduce avocados by a teaspoon into your diet, make mashed potatoes from it, add to salads.

Kiwi with pancreatitis

Fruit khaki color, slightly hairy surface, taste reminiscent of strawberries with a slight sourness. Kiwi has long won our sympathies, especially children. Although it comes from southern countries with a subtropical climate, they have already learned how to grow it in our country, they have bred varieties suitable for our climate. [7]

In addition to excellent taste, it is famous for a large number of biologically active substances. Pancreatitis imposes restrictions on its consumption due to the presence of coarse dietary fiber and pronounced acidity in it.

The chronic course of the disease with a stable normal state allows you to eat one ripe kiwi a day.

Pomegranate for pancreatitis

Pomegranate is too acidic for the pancreas. However, it contains so many useful nutrients that you have to put on the scales the benefits and harms. It has excellent disinfectant properties, improves blood circulation, fights diarrhea and is simply a storehouse of substances necessary for the body. [8]

A stable remission makes it possible to eat grains of the fetus little by little (up to 20 pieces). The absence of pain, nausea and other symptoms of pancreatitis is a sign that you can increase the serving to 300g.

Figs for pancreatitis

Due to its composition, figs are indicated for many diseases, including anemia, constipation, in the treatment of colds and coughs (diaphoretic, reduces fever, improves immunity), blood vessels, and in the fight against blood clots. Pectin in it helps to eliminate toxins and poisons from the body, so the berry is effective in case of poisoning. [9]

In the case of pancreatitis, things are not so clear. Figs are very high in calories, 100 g contains 240 calories, besides, it contains a lot of sugar, and this can provoke a jump in blood glucose, it is rich in fiber, vegetable oils. All of these characteristics put a ban on raw berries.

Pineapples for pancreatitis

Another of the forbidden fruits for pancreatitis is pineapple. Despite its many advantages due to vitamins, micro and macro elements, low calorie content and excellent taste, it contains organic acids that can provoke an exacerbation as a result of irritation of the structural elements of the gastrointestinal tract. [10]

Only an absolutely stable remission makes it possible to try this exotic fruit in small doses. This should not be done on an empty stomach, but as a dessert.

Citrus fruits for pancreatitis

Even a child knows about the benefits of citrus fruits: glucose, fructose, pectins, phytoncides, essential oils, organic acids, vitamins A, C, E, PP provide their anti-inflammatory, immunostimulating, antioxidant effect. To a person with diseased digestive organs, they can cause harm, because. Contain acids that stimulate the glandular epithelium of the stomach and lead to additional secretion of pancreatic juice. Exacerbations of the disease categorically exclude their consumption, and long-term remission allows individual representatives of citrus fruits. [11] Let's take a look at the most popular:

• lemon with pancreatitis - sour in taste (in 100g of fruit up to 8% organic acids). The aroma of the fruit is due to the presence in it of such substances as citral, limonene, geranilocetate, which also irritate the organ. There is only one verdict - lemon is not recommended for pancreatitis, both with exacerbations and the chronic course of the pathology;
• oranges in pancreatitis - a high content of ascorbic acid, sugars, fiber, essential oils - everything that makes the fruit desirable for anti-infective protection of the body, antioxidant activity and simply satisfying gastronomic requests is unacceptable in the acute stage of pancreatitis. In the phase of stable remission, 1-2 sweet ripe fruits per day will not hurt;
• tangerines for pancreatitis are another natural immunomodulator, intestinal cleaner, supplier of nutrients. However, it is also characterized by the content of acids, pectins, fiber, which can irritate the pancreas, and besides, it is a highly allergenic product.

Chronic inflammation of the organ allows you to consume ripe sweet fruits in moderation in the absence of their negative effect on the state of the pancreas.

Mango with pancreatitis

The unripe fruit contains many acids: oxalic, citric, succinic, malic. They determine its sour taste. A completely different composition in a mature fruit - few acids, a lot of natural sugars and vitamins. It is these that are recommended in the absence of exacerbation. [12]

Their vegetable pepsin will help in the breakdown of animal proteins, increase their digestibility. Mangoes have anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects, calm the nervous system, help stop bleeding, and improve intestinal microflora.

However, overeating them can lead to indigestion, allergies, and high blood sugar.

Kohlrabi with pancreatitis

Kohlrabi is a type of cabbage. Its edible part - the rhizome is very reminiscent of a turnip. The leaves are also used in salads. Despite the fact that the plant is rich in many useful nutrients that have a beneficial effect on metabolism, the state of the cardiovascular system, and immunity, it is prohibited for patients with pancreatitis. [13]

Coconut for pancreatitis

Some sources claim that fresh coconut helps restore pancreatic function. But, studying the chemical composition of the fruit, you are convinced that it contains a lot of carbohydrates, especially in milk, and the pulp is replete with fats (more than 30 g per 100 g of fruit). These are undesirable components for the inflamed organ.

The use of a small amount of coconut flakes as an addition to dishes is allowed during the calm period of the disease.
