Re: Dietary Restrictions after Recovery of Acute Pancreatitis

[Guest guest]

Ranjeev,

I'm sure you'll probably hear this from a lot of us. The number one

thing to remember about recovering from pancreatitis is absolutely NO

alcohol. Also best not to smoke either. This means never doing either

again in your lifetime. Even though alcohol may not have been the

cause, once you have pancreatitis,. you become sensitive to all other

causes of pancreatitis. This means the pancreas is now sensitive to

alcohol and if you do drink, even if only once a year, it could still

damage your pancreas, maybe even bring on another attack. I know that I

am so sensitive to alcohol now that I can't even cook with the stuff.

Diet wise, low fat to no fat diet. Probably about 20 grams of fat a day

is what most of us do. Learn to read labels because a lot of food has

hidden fat and stuff in it.
