Question 3

i have pancreatitis caused by medication (prednisone 50mg) i would like to know what foods i can't eat and what foods i should eat.  thanks?

Accepted Answer

Protein: 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.

Question 9

i have recurrent acute pancreatitis am 19 will ana profile test help.will medication given to me will change am taking creon and dietary food tablets?

Accepted Answer

More testing: An anti-nuclear antibody wouldn't be high on my list, but it might be time to check you for one of the genetic syndromes (trypsinogen mutation, cystic fibrosis variant) known to cause this. "Magic" food supplements won't help you. Hoping you can find the cause of this often very troublesome situation.

Question 10

chances of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis to vanish by taking medication from 2 months. as now only pain occurs rarely no vomiting and othr symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Leave but return: Zee,

Chronic pancreatitis is a relapsing, remitting disease. It will go away, then return. How often you have flare ups depends on several factors: luck, how much alcohol you use, and what kind of foods you eat. Stick to low protein foods, NO alcohol, and hopefully your relapses will be few and far between. If you feel your pancreatitis is acting up, see your doctor. Hope this helps!
