Nutrition during exercise in chronic pancreatitis plays a very important role. First of all, it is necessary to say "no" to bad habits, because they can only aggravate the situation. Take food should be up to six to seven times a day. The dishes are best suited in a grated or chopped form, cooked in water and steamed. Strictly forbidden hot or too cold dishes.
