pancreatitis menu

27 June 2021

Pancreatitis is a disease of the pancreas, during which the cells of the pancreas are destroyed by their own enzymes. In the exacerbation phase, gland cells are destroyed; in the remission phase, connective tissue is formed in place of dead cells. This greatly disrupts the functioning of the pancreas. The most common causes of pancreatitis are alcohol abuse and eating disorders and therefore treatment should be started with nutrition.

Nutritional recommendations for each patient must be selected individually, depending on the severity of the condition, the stage of the disease, food intolerance and concomitant diseases. The menu below for pankteatitis is suitable for the remission phase (ie, the period when there is no exacerbation) and will help to avoid the next exacerbation.

The basics of the pancreatitis menu:

The purpose of the diet is to improve the functioning of the pancreas, to reduce the burden on the digestive system.

Restriction of simple carbohydrates - sweets, baked goods, sugar. Sugar is partially replaced by xylitol or sorbitol. Of allowed sweets - jelly, honey, jelly.

Fractional diet - 5-6 times a day.

Cooking - steamed, roasted and boiled. It is necessary to clean fibrous meat and vegetables rich in dietary fiber (carrots, broccoli, cabbage, fresh herbs).

The temperature of the dishes is normal, cold dishes are excluded.

During the remission period, the menu may include vegetable soups and cereals in the diet. At the same time, vegetables must be well boiled.

You can use meat, skinless poultry, low-fat, boiled and baked fish varieties. Do not use offal (liver, kidneys, brains), smoked meat, salted fish, caviar, sausage, canned food.

From allowed milk products - cottage cheese (up to 20%), milk, sour milk drinks, sour cream on dishes.

It is recommended that eggs be used in the form of omelets or boiled. It is best not to use fried or hard-boiled eggs.

In the remission stage with pancreatitis, it is necessary to include various vegetables and fruits in the raw, roasted, cooked and cooked diet. During the flare-up period, fresh vegetables and fruits are excluded.

Drinks - weak tea, coffee with milk, rosehip broth and fruit juices diluted in half with water, unsweetened fruit juices. Excluded - black coffee, cocoa, soft drinks.

Breakfast:sweet pilaf with dried fruit;

Dinner:chicken noodle soup; zucchini and eggplant baked in the oven with cheese;

Afternoon snack:strawberry and banana milkshake;

Nutritionist comment:
To make sweet pilaf suitable for a patient with pancreatitis, exclude walnuts and cranberries and reduce the amount of sugar to 1 tbsp.

We put vegetables in the soup without frying it, this will reduce the load on the pancreas.

Hot spices should be excluded from recipes.

I recommend choosing milk for a cocktail with a fat content not exceeding 2. 5%, and as for coffee, it is better to exclude it from the recipe, it is not advisable to use this product in pancreatitis.
You can use either method to prepare halibut fillets, both are suitable in case of illness. You can choose a side with grains, for example, cooked buckwheat or vegetables - cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, zucchini, etc. Choose a method of cooking vegetables that does not overshadow the fish's flavor or cause harm, for example, boil or steam the vegetables.
