1. First of all, patients with pancreatitis should fast completely temporarily to prevent food and acidic gastric juice from entering the duodenum, causing irritation to the pancreas and causing continued damage to the pancreas.

Nutrition at this stage mainly relies on parenteral supply. After the patient's symptoms gradually ease, he can eat fat-free and low-protein liquid foods, such as juice, rice soup, tomato juice, thin noodle soup, etc. When the condition improves, you can switch to low-fat liquid food, such as pork liver soup, soy milk, egg white soup, pork loin soup, etc. Later, you can gradually switch to low-fat semi-liquid food, 5-6 meals a day.

2. If hyperglycemia occurs in the disease, the amount of sugar and fat intake must be controlled accordingly. If the patient has pain again, it means that he is intolerant to fat digestion and absorption, and should choose low-fat and low-protein foods. During fasting, pay attention to maintaining electrolyte balance. If the levels of potassium, magnesium, sodium, and calcium decrease, you should replenish them in time, and drink more fresh mushroom soup, vegetable juice, fruit juice, etc.

3. Patients should also avoid eating greasy food. Greasy food is difficult to digest and can promote bile secretion, and bile can activate digestive enzymes in the pancreas, which can aggravate the condition. Therefore, foods containing more fat, such as fatty meat, peanuts, sesame seeds, pastries, fried foods, etc., should be banned.

4. Finally, patients should avoid smoking, alcohol and spicy food. If the condition improves, the amount and type of food should be gradually increased, but it is not advisable to overeat to avoid recurrence of the condition.

Symptoms of pancreatitis

1. The stool is light in color and floats on the water. This is a sign of poor nutrient absorption. The pancreas produces digestive enzymes that help digest dietary fat, said Dr. Andrew Hentifa, co-director of the Division of Pancreatic Oncology at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. The pancreas also helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, E, K, etc.

If there is a problem with the pancreas and its function of secreting digestive enzymes is affected, the stool will become lighter in color and less dense. ?

2. Stomach pain. Abdominal pain is the main symptom of acute pancreatitis, and more than 95% of patients have varying degrees of abdominal pain. Most attacks occur suddenly and the pain is severe. The most common symptoms of pancreatic cancer are upper abdominal fullness and discomfort, pain that is often vague and worse at night. However, many other conditions can cause stomach pain. When encountering this problem, don't panic and seek medical advice promptly to find out the specific cause. ?

3. Blood sugar is difficult to control. Hormones secreted by the pancreas help control the body's production of insulin and also control blood sugar levels. Dr. Andrew Hentifa said that if there is a problem with the pancreas, patients are prone to type 2 diabetes. In particular, we should pay attention to two situations. One is a person with a normal weight and a normal diet, but is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The other is a person with type 2 diabetes who finds it difficult to control blood sugar.

4. Nausea after eating greasy food. If there is a problem with the pancreas, its digestive enzyme secretion function will be weakened, which will affect the body's digestion and absorption of fat. Therefore, if you experience nausea and vomiting after eating high-fat foods, such as fried chicken legs, avocados, and nuts, you should be concerned about whether there is a problem with your pancreas. In addition, acute pancreatitis is more likely to cause nausea and vomiting than pancreatic cancer. ?

5. Rapid weight loss. If a person encounters the above conditions and loses weight rapidly, it may be caused by digestive dysfunction caused by pancreatic cancer or other pancreatic diseases. However, thyroid disease and other diseases can also cause sudden weight loss, and you need to find a doctor for investigation
