When a malfunction occurs in the body, not only the general well-being suffers, but also the condition of all organs, because it is their connection that ensures the full functioning of the system. The pancreas, as many believe, is not a useless organ and the production of enzymes responsible for digesting food, as well as insulin, the lack of which can lead to diabetes, depends on its health.

For children
What can you eat when your child’s pancreas hurts? The children's diet is almost the same as that of adult patients. In young patients, the time for aggravation of the pancreas often passes faster. In case of pathology of the pancreas, therapeutic nutrition still remains for a long period and is suitable for the age category of the patient.
At the appointment after the prescribed diet for the pancreas, the doctor will tell you what can and cannot be given to the child when the organ hurts.

The dietary table for a child with pancreatic disease largely includes soups, as well as carefully boiled porridges. Cooking takes place with diluted milk or using water. Pureeed vegetables and baked apples are better suited for a child’s body. Fats and sweets should be kept to a minimum. Dishes made from meat products should be light.
Foods to Avoid
If you have a disease of the pancreas, you are prohibited from eating any food that increases the production of enzymes designed to break down food. Abuse of these products leads to the body producing large quantities of enzymes necessary for digesting and breaking down food. These enzymes are secreted in large quantities. As a result, inflammation of the organ occurs and serious complications and diseases occur. Such products include:

Diet during exacerbation of the disease
Naturally, if the pancreas is malfunctioning, it cannot be cured with diet alone. However, during such an unpleasant disease as pancreatitis, it is very important to prevent the situation from worsening.
In case of acute pancreatitis, it is advisable to visit the hospital, but after medical help you must follow a strict diet.

The diet begins with a three-day fast. During these days, you can drink 1-1.5 liters of warm non-carbonated Borjomi mineral water, strictly 200 ml at a time, and a maximum of 400 ml of rose hip decoction.
After fasting, which should last 3 days, a special diet follows, which should be followed for about a week, containing the norm of protein, a minimum of calories and sharply limiting fats and easily digestible fats.
In addition, foods that contain coarse fiber and help the functioning of the digestive glands are completely removed from the diet.
It is best to boil or stew food; under no circumstances should you fry it. Food should have a liquid or puree consistency. You should eat in small portions.

Nutrition depending on the cause of pain
Often pain signals developing pathological processes. Pancreatitis, an inflammatory disease, occupies a leading place among diseases of the pancreas.
The main reason for the development of the disease is a violation of the outflow of enzymes, which can destroy organ tissue and even blood vessels. Fans of spicy, fried, fatty foods, as well as people who abuse alcohol and overeat are susceptible to the disease. The main manifestations of the disease are pain and intoxication.
Acute pancreatitis
An acute process is characterized by intense pain of a dull or cutting nature. Depending on which part of the pancreas was affected, pain may appear in the right or left hypochondrium, under the stomach. If the pathological process affects the entire organ, the painful outbreak is girdling in nature. The pain can radiate to the back, shoulder blade, chest.
Lack of timely medical care is fraught with painful shock, loss of consciousness and even death. In addition to pain, patients experience nausea and vomiting, bloating, belching, heartburn, diarrhea or constipation. There is tension in the abdominal muscles. The acute process can also cause an increase in body temperature, as well as changes in blood pressure.
Acute pancreatitis is an indication for hospitalization. The main goal of treatment is to neutralize pancreatic enzymes that have entered the blood, as well as to combat intoxication. During the acute period, minimal load on the organ should be ensured. In the first days, therapeutic fasting is indicated. In this case, solutions with nutrients are administered intravenously.
Fasting can be dry or with liquid intake. The first method can last no more than 24 hours, then the patient is given a small amount of mineral water without gas, gradually increasing the dosage. After two days, you can consume vegetable broth, after which the diet expands.
Dry fasting is more often prescribed for the chronic form, and fasting with liquid intake - for the acute process. It will help not only relieve the symptoms of the disease, but also speed up the healing process of the organ. In acute pancreatitis, fasting is carried out in a hospital setting. The patient is allowed to drink liquid in unlimited quantities. This can be alkaline mineral water or rosehip decoction.
In case of a chronic process, dry fasting is carried out once a week, while the person must observe strict bed rest. After the acute process subsides, it is important to continue to monitor your diet. Food should be consumed in pureed puree form. Meals should be small portions five to six times a day. Dishes should be comfortably warm.
What can't you eat? The following products are prohibited for pancreatitis:
- fatty foods, broths, smoked meats;
- seasonings, pickles, marinades;
- spicy vegetables and sour fruits;
- confectionery, baked goods;
- soda, alcohol;
- chocolate, ice cream;
- cocoa, coffee.
Therapeutic nutrition includes a sufficient amount of healthy and tasty foods:
- boiled, stewed or steamed vegetables;
- lean meat, fish and poultry;
- cereals;
- vegetable soups;
- baked apples;
- jelly, compotes;
- Vegetable oil is allowed to be included in the diet, but it should not be subjected to heat treatment.

If there are problems with the appearance of clinical signs of diabetes mellitus , diet therapy is adjusted taking into account impaired carbohydrate metabolism, approaching the physiological norm of nutrition as much as possible. In such cases Diet 5P/9 , which excludes in the diet:
- purines (extractive nitrogenous substances);
- foods that promote bloating and fermentation processes in the intestines (cabbage, legumes);
- products formed during the frying process;
- foods rich in lipotropic substances and calcium;
- products containing a lot of essential oils and irritating the mucous membrane of the digestive tract (pepper, onion, garlic);
- salt - up to 6 g per day.
In terms of energy value and nutrient composition, the main diet for diabetes mostly coincides with the 5P Diet , however, the latter is more gentle. In terms of nutritional composition, Diets 5P and 5P/9 are identical. 5-6 meals a day are prescribed, simple carbohydrates are excluded from the diet by increasing the fiber content (bran, pectin), and more than 50% of fats should be vegetable fats. Small meals throughout the day equalize the relationship between blood glucose and insulin .
In the diet, up to 50% of the daily energy requirement should be covered by the carbohydrate portion of the diet. For this purpose, sweeteners are widely used - xylitol , sorbitol , saccharin , aspartame , taking into account individual tolerance.
The diet includes foods containing complex carbohydrates: bread, cereals (excluding semolina and rice); fruits, berries and vegetables that contain less than 5 g of carbohydrates per 100 g of product (cucumbers, zucchini, cauliflower) and vegetables/fruits containing 5-10 g of carbohydrates per 100 g of product (beets, carrots, oranges, tangerines) are limited. The ability of any food to increase blood glucose levels is characterized by the glycemic index . And the lower the index, the more suitable this product is for a patient with diabetes.
There is a special table containing the necessary information, using which the patient can navigate when choosing products. The fat content in the diet of such patients should be less than the physiological norm due to the exclusion of refractory animal fats and foods containing a lot of cholesterol (geese, ducks, pork, liver, lamb, brains, yolks). The 5P/9 diet should contain a sufficient amount of vitamins, especially thiamine (vitamin B1), which is actively involved in carbohydrate metabolism, as well as myco/macroelements.

Meals are prescribed for a long period, and various methods of processing foods (boiling, baking, steaming) allow you to diversify the menu and, according to patients, it is not very boring.
Reviews from patients indicate that dietary nutrition is very important, and some note that they are constantly forced to follow a diet - deviations from it cause a deterioration in their health.
- “... In case of a mild exacerbation, if IVs are not needed, I do not go to the hospital, but carry out the treatment at home and include therapeutic nutrition. I know what to eat and what to exclude, since this is not the first time. The only way out is to give rest to the pancreas and remove broths, fatty and fried foods. The transition to steamed and baked dishes is immediately felt: bloating and discomfort in the left hypochondrium disappear. I tolerate all porridges well, I don’t even exclude boiled vegetables, so the diet is quite complete and not difficult to follow. I try to hold out for a month or two and during this time I also lose weight”;
- “... When my pancreas hurts and mushy stools appear, I switch to this diet. The first time I was in the hospital, they told me to stick with it for at least a year. Dietary restrictions affected my weight, I lost 6 kg. I will be very careful about my nutrition and treatment; in the hospital I was on a very strict diet”;
- “... For problems with the pancreas, the very first thing is diet and regimen. I know that I eat irregularly, often eat fried and fatty foods, which causes aggravation. Moreover, drinking alcohol on holidays has an immediate effect. The doctor warned that you need to constantly follow a diet. It’s difficult for me to stick to it, but what to do if there are frequent exacerbations. Therefore, I decided to endure a year without any disturbances and I can say that during this time I forgot what an exacerbation is and where the pancreas is located”;
- “... When I was in the hospital for the first time with an attack, they told me what the diet for the pancreas should be so as not to burden it and not provoke an exacerbation. Since then, I switched to boiled and baked dishes, introduced my family to them, and I think that this only makes everyone healthier. What is the use of smoked meats and fatty, fried foods? My condition is normal and there have been no exacerbations for 3 years. Of course, sometimes you want to break your diet for a holiday, and this happens, but I allow errors in moderation.”
