Pancreatitis is a disease that requires compliance with the strictest diet. So, often, the main problem in this case is the need to adhere to a monotonous diet, which, sometimes, is not so simple. Are spices suitable for pancreatitis, which allow you to give the already familiar dishes completely new shades?
The answer to this question is unequivocal: absolutely not. And this is understandable, because the main principle of the diet for pancreatitis: nothing acute or salty, and spices, as a rule, are aimed precisely at strengthening these tastes.
It is worth noting that when pancreatitis is best to give up and from such natural spices as: onion, garlic, pepper, horseradish. Because these products can not only be negative, but truly destructive to the pancreas, and therefore such nutrition can lead to the development of acute pancreatitis.
Those who suffer from this disease should strictly refuse to use additional flavor enhancers such as spices. And although with their help it is possible to give any dish an original and refined taste, it is more reasonable, in this case, to diversify the food by adding all sorts of greens: parsley, dill, basil and others.
Seasonings with pancreatitis
Certain taste - salty, sour, bitter and their combinations: sweet and sour, bitter-salty - add food seasonings. But just as with any disease requiring a strict diet, pancreatitis should be discarded from spicy condiments.
It is necessary to significantly reduce the consumption of salt, and it is better to use - sea, and in a very small amount. In addition, it is better to pour the already prepared dishes.
Vinegar and table mustard with their sharp taste can provoke an exacerbation of the disease, so they should not be added to food at all. You can diversify the taste of food by eating within reasonable limits cinnamon with its delicate aroma and vanillin. Spicy herbs such as dill, cumin, oregano, saffron will give the dietary taste a peculiar taste and aroma.
But if even a slight use of single spices in pancreatitis causes dull pain in the center of the abdomen above the navel or in the hypochondrium on the right, then rush them out of your diet and take cholagogue as prescribed by the doctor.
