Improper diet, stress and bad habits can cause pancreatitis. This is a dangerous disease that requires not only complex treatment, but also proper dietary adjustment. A strict diet for pancreatitis is an integral part of the fight against this disease.

In acute pancreatitis, it is recommended to fast for several days. This is necessary to give the body a state of rest and reduce the focus of inflammation in the tissues.
You can start eating on the 4th day after the acute symptoms of the disease have subsided (severe pain, nausea, vomiting and severe diarrhea). In chronic pancreatitis, it is important to follow a diet. This will help prevent exacerbations and achieve long-term remission.
In addition, you need to adhere to the general principles of nutrition:
