Basic nutritional principles
The diet for pancreatitis should adhere to the following principles:
Current frequency: If you use servings a little more often than usual, the work of the digestive system will normalize, the pancreas will get used to a period of time to produce a secret that serves to digest food, not the gland itself
It should also be noted that with several meals, intraductal pressure returns to normal, which means that the risk of sand and stones forming in the glandular ducts is significantly reduced.
Fractional Nutrition:Do not eat in large portions. Even if the feeling of hunger is very strong, it is still better to break it down into several tricks. This is necessary so that only the dose for which the enzyme is produced in sufficient quantities reaches the digestive tract.
Shredded food: In order to avoid unnecessary provocation situations, the food should be rubbed - in this case the gastric mucosa will not be irritated, and the process of absorbing nutrients will be better
Balanced nutrition: For the balance of nutrients, it is necessary to increase the protein component - this can be achieved by increasing the amount of dairy, fish and meat products

Therapeutic fasting:In cases in which the pancreas makes itself felt through pain from the left hypochondrium, therapeutic fasting is useful, in which food is avoided for about 1 to 1. 5 days
