Accepted Answer

The pancreas is a large gland in your upper abdomen, behind your intestine and stomach, which produces enzymes to digest foods, particularly carbohydrate and fats. The two main enzymes are amylase and lipase, and levels of these two chemicals can be measured in your blood when you have pancreatitis. So to your question, a high protein diet may be the best choice when your pancreatitis is active.

Accepted Answer

The best way to lose weight is through a change in your lifestyle, including eating healthier and getting consistent exercise. If you have tried multiple diets and regain the weight and your bmi is above 35 with either diabetes or hypertension then a surgical intervention may be a reasonable option. 
Join a gym and meet with a nutritionist that will help you figure out a meaningful way of changing your eating habits. Remember if you drink regular soda or juice, this can add 300 calories or more a day. If a person stores 4000 calories extra that will mean a 1 pound weight gain. Start drinking more water and as a compromise a little diet soda.

Good luck.

Question 6

For almost a yr i have epigastric and ulq pain that wraps around to my back. this worsens if i drink alcohol or eat oily foods. is this pancreatitis?

Accepted Answer

The pain that you're describing can have many causes, and pancreatitis is not the most likely culprit, unless you have had it before. It is very possible that you have Gerd or gastritis as a cause. I would consider trying omeprazole 20 mg once a day for no longer than two weeks. If it does not help, then I would see your doctor.

Question 7

What kind of food can i eat if i have polycystic kidney disease and cyst on the pancrea ? and i previously had a pancreatitis with a lipase of 16,000.

Accepted Answer

This is a lifetime challenge, but you can eat whatever you like without expecting specific benefits or harms. As your kidneys fail later in life, restrictions will become more important. I hope you will be able to get a transplant.

Question 8

What should people with pancreatitis eat?

Accepted Answer

Rule of thumb: avoid fats and eat small portions often
in the hospital setting, patients are typically kept "npo" (nothing by mouth) and given plenty of IV fluids and pain management to allow the pancreas to rest. Symptoms typically resolve within a few days for uncomplicated, acute pancreatitis.
