Reactive pancreatitis is one of the most common diseases of the gland located under the stomach and covered with the duodenum, which is commonly called pancreatic. This is one of the most important organs in the human body, which produces hormones, insulin including, responsible for the regulation of blood glucose levels. In addition, iron is responsible for the production of digestive enzymes that promote the digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, which unloads the liver.
In the treatment of jet pancreatitis, both drug therapy and a specially selected diet are used, which doctors attach great importance to the speedy recovery and further long-term remission.
Dietary nutrition for reactive pancreatitis
The diet for pancreatitis is aimed at restoring normal gland activity. The basis of nutrition in reactive inflammation of the gland is the principle - to ensure minimum energy expenditure of the sick organ, to digest food, that is, to create a complete physiological rest. For this, when compiling the menu of diet number 5, you should follow several rules:
- The food should be frequent( every three to four hours) and fractional( five to six times a day) in small portions. This will not allow the gastric juice to accumulate, irritate the stomach and will relieve the load on the pancreas, also relieving the gastrointestinal tract.
- In order not to irritate the gastric mucosa with reactive pancreatitis, a preference in the diet should be given to a warm, puree-grinded vegetable dish of beetroot, pumpkin, zucchini, cauliflower, potatoes, steamed or boiled.
- With reactive inflammation of the gland, there is edema of the organ, which makes it difficult to produce digestive enzymes. Therefore, when compiling a diet, gastroenterologists recommend to exclude fat from the diet, reduce carbohydrates( confectionery, sugar, jam, honey) to a minimum and give preference to protein foods. Because the enzymes involved in the breakdown of proteins are produced not only in the pancreas, but also in the duodenum. In a diet with reactive pancreatitis, it is necessary to include protein steam omelettes, low-fat meat of beef and veal, as well as poultry and fish( pike perch, cod, pollock, pike) in the form of steam meatballs, cutlets, knots and soufflé.
- Also, when compiling a diet, doctors recommend including in the food of patients products, sparing digestive organs, which reduce the excitability of the gallbladder. Accordingly, dishes and foods that have a high sokonnym quality, with pancreatitis are contraindicated. From dietary nutrition, it is necessary to exclude meat and fish broths, cabbage, fruits, vegetables and other products that have a sour taste.
In the treatment of reactive pancreatitis in the diet should be preferred to non-acidic dairy products - yogurt, kefir, skim curd and low-fat cheese. Also vegetable and cereal soups, seasoned with low-fat sour cream. In the diet, it is appropriate to include various cereal cereals, boiled vermicelli with the addition of vegetable and butter.
A diet with reactive pancreatitis requires a careful approach and a serious attitude. After all, a properly selected food menu will help to avoid complications and for a long time will save health, avoiding new bouts of the disease.
