Who has chronic pancreatitis?

My friend hasn't had any symptoms for 6 years, doesn't follow any diet, and enjoys drinking beer. Before, when we used to walk with the kids at the playground, she would just try a couple of store-bought crackers, and then it would start: a belt-like pain for days, a splitting headache, etc. I asked her what helped her, but she doesn't really say. Something like Coral Club helped: water and Colovada. I don't know, at the same time, she had just gotten divorced and was living very poorly, basically on a diet of porridge and vegetables. I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

I was diagnosed with this condition at 14 and suffered from periodic pain. Once, while staying at my grandmother's village, I drank fresh goat's milk three times a day for three months and forgot about the pain. I'm 30 now.

I'm getting by with rosehip broth and fasting for a couple of days.

I managed with a diet. In the morning, I always have oatmeal cooked in water, a sandwich with Karat cheese (4% fat), toasted white bread in a toaster, and natural yogurt (you can add dried apricots or muesli). I eliminated fried, smoked, spicy, and fatty foods... Now everything has normalized, and I occasionally allow myself a small deviation from the rules. Medication: Panzinorm, Panzinorm-Forte.

During flare-ups, it helps to: fast, apply cold, and rest. Otherwise, regular eating is just so-so, knock on wood.

Author, our doctors automatically assign chronic diagnoses because regular ones should be cured :)

I was diagnosed with this condition and treated it with fasting and diet. Everything cleared up, and I haven't had any flare-ups for over two years. I don't follow the diet anymore.

How long did you follow the diet?

For about three months, I followed a strict diet, and now I just avoid eating any junk. The flare-ups only start when I overdo it with alcohol, so I try to keep myself in check when it comes to drinking. :)

Could you be more specific about the strict diet? I had acute pancreatitis a month and a half ago, and I've read through a bunch of diets, but they seem impossible to stick to. Please list exactly what I can eat for three months. I've had constant pain since leaving the hospital a month and a half ago. Thank you.

I've also been suffering from pancreatitis for two months. I just lack patience. As soon as I feel a bit better, my hand reaches for marshmallows or gummies. Regarding the diet, I'll share my daily menu with five meals a day: low-fat cottage cheese (0-5%), a piece of boiled meat (100g), oatmeal or buckwheat with butter, optionally with raisins or a bit of dried apricots, vegetable puree (boiled vegetables with added butter, turmeric, and dill seeds, blended), a soft-boiled egg every other day, sprouted wheat grains, dried white bread, and crackers. Baked apples, non-sour ones, are allowed too.

And I was unexpectedly diagnosed, but it's unclear why! I had a (congenital) kink in my gallbladder. Excruciating, belt-like pain isn't my thing. Yes, my stomach area sometimes aches—it's tolerable—Almagel or charcoal, and that's it. Yet the diagnosis was practically made in absentia—when I smoked, I lost weight; when I quit, I gained, and then they found my sugar was above normal. I haven't had any examinations at all. No one says a word about diet. And I myself know what doesn't sit well with my stomach. So I completely agree with Guest No. 6—you need to get properly examined. Making a diagnosis, even for a simple cough, is very difficult at first glance. Stay healthy! And good luck finding a knowledgeable doctor!

I am 60 years old. After turning 40, health issues began. Chronic cholecystitis, followed by chronic pancreatitis, then hypotension, tachycardia, and arrhythmia. Gout and intercostal neuralgia. Sand and stones in the kidneys. I could only stand for half an hour and had to lie down for 3-4 hours. I had no energy. Medications cost 350 grams per month. It was barely manageable. I was treated in hospitals for 12 years with no results. Within a year of cleansing my body of parasites, I got rid of almost all my illnesses. It's unclear why our doctors don't consider it necessary to advise patients to cleanse their bodies of parasites before starting treatment. People are right to say: if you have more than one illness, start treatment by cleansing your body of parasites. 80 percent of all diseases have one root cause—parasites. Read and watch videos about parasites. Recipe: 1 kg of hot peppers, 1 kg of tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of salt—boil and preserve in jars. Gradually increase pepper intake to 1-3 teaspoons a day. For pancreatitis, cholecystitis, and arrhythmia, take medication. I took Hepeel, Panzinorm, Allochol, Cardiomagnyl, and others. At first, it was tough—there were too many parasites in my body. Now, diet and pills are in the past. Before starting self-treatment, think carefully. If possible, get rid of parasites with the help of doctors.

I don't have a chronic condition, but I had an acute one. Flax seeds soaked in boiling water on an empty stomach, pancreatin or Pangrol with meals, and No-Spa for pain. Currently, I'm not following any diet.

Chronic pancreatitis is a fairly common condition characterized by periodically occurring pain and signs of exocrine and endocrine insufficiency. In chronic pancreatitis, irreversible pathological changes occur in the parenchyma of the pancreas. Factors contributing to the development of pancreatitis include excessive alcohol consumption, gallstone disease, and its complications. With significant changes in the pancreas, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus may develop. Treatment of chronic pancreatitis begins with dietary adjustments. It is necessary to eliminate fried, fatty, salty, and spicy foods from the diet. Patients are prescribed non-narcotic analgesics, antispasmodics, and anticholinergic drugs. For exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, enzyme preparations such as Panzinorm, Festal, and Creon are indicated. Treatment of chronic pancreatitis should be carried out under the strict supervision of a specialist.

Everything will be fine, PANCREATITIS!

I have chronic fibrous pancreatitis, diagnosed by CT scan. I've been suffering for a year now. I have frequent diarrhea and have lost up to 20 kg in weight. I'm taking enzymes and am on a diet, but I continue to lose weight. Please share treatment advice. I'm 58 years old.

I was watching various videos about pancreatitis and came across this channel, don't take it as an advertisement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vGZS0O9ZAg

Here, everything seems to be about pancreatitis and it's quite concise, might be helpful for someone.

This doctor lady says that there can be pains on an empty stomach, I understand that during flare-ups, has anyone experienced something like that?

Hello. I've been diagnosed with gastroduodenitis, colitis, and pancreatitis. I've been ill for half a year. The main issue is that the pain and burning aren't just in the epigastrium; it has also started in my kidneys, and actually, it radiates along my spine, lower back, and even gynecologically. Sometimes I can't sleep all night and have had to use sleeping pills. Has anyone experienced this? An abdominal ultrasound found nothing in the kidneys, and a pelvic ultrasound was clear too. I've had accompanying osteochondrosis and scoliosis since childhood. And I've been hypertensive since I was 15. I don't have access to good doctors. My weight is such that it's close to anorexia. And now I have to fast for three days and follow a strict diet. I'm even having suicidal thoughts, though I want to live. But when will all this end? I'm 25.

For those who are interested, it's better to seek information from practicing doctors and ask them questions.

I disagree with the diagnoses, pancreatitis yes but that's all very simple - strict diet during flare-ups and tasty diet during remission, check your gallbladder maybe all the problems are there - burning, itching, nausea, etc. If it's not that then go on a diet - you'll get used to it, do eccentric exercises for your spine, it will help.

I'm 22 years old. After an open surgery (for a ruptured cyst), I've been having constant complications, one after another, practically living at the doctors' offices. Recently, I started feeling pain in my left side and was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis. I'm following a diet and taking Almagel, Gastal, Pancreatin, Omez, and Duspatalin.
I've had biliary dyskinesia since childhood.
What's bothering me is whether I'll have to stick to this strict diet for the rest of my life. I can't survive without bread and sweets. And I don't want to be the odd one out at celebrations (it's not that I can't live without alcohol and fried food, but sometimes in company, I'd like to indulge).

Hey everyone! Don't lose hope—I've recovered and now even drink wine occasionally without any issues. I had acute pancreatitis that later tried to flare up again. I won't drag this out, but in short, drink Isotov's jelly (you can find it online) and celandine decoction on an empty stomach in the morning, and, surprisingly, take sedatives (the effect is strong), at least a calming herbal blend. I was lucky to have a good doctor.

My diagnosis is chronic pancreatitis. I had a rotavirus infection. Now I've also been diagnosed with post-infectious IBS. My stomach hurts, and I only have diarrhea in the morning. I'm taking Duspatalin and De-Nol, even though there don't seem to be any erosions. My mood is terrible, kind of panicky. Is the treatment correct? The doctor seems decent.

Diet is mandatory, although it's very hard until you get used to it. My stomach started hurting from constantly taking Mezim. I drank dill seed tea and various herbs. Now I've started treatment with Biomedis. It stops attacks in 10 minutes. Also, a BRT doctor promised to restore my pancreas in six months.

Pancreatitis for 7 years. The last year has been hell. Diet after diet. And in between, relapses and flare-ups again. I'm 27. There's no life.

Hello everyone!
I've had pancreatitis since I was 12 😞😬. I used to have frequent flare-ups because I've been living without my mom since I was 14 and didn't really worry about sticking to a diet. But thank God, I managed to avoid developing diabetes!
Now I'm 27, and just three weeks ago, I had another flare-up! (Before that, I was in remission for about 5 years consistently))) During those 5 years, I didn't drink or eat any junk (like fried sausage, scrambled eggs, hot dogs, and other nasty stuff), lost weight, and looked great... Now I live in Spain, and around New Year's, it was my own fault—I ate poorly for a whole month and triggered the flare-up. I have to say, they got me back on my feet really quickly!!! The Spanish are just awesome) But what stood out to me was that during the first 3-4 days of the flare-up, when you're on IV drips, you CANNOT drink any water!!! No rosehip tea or anything!!!! They told me anything that enters the stomach triggers the pancreas!!! That's how it is. I recovered very quickly, which I'm really happy about!

As for the diet! There's nothing to discuss here!! Seriously, you need to stick to it for life!!! There's no room for debate! Do you want to die prematurely? Of course, a year after a flare-up, you can eat a little pizza or chocolate... but in extreme moderation☝🏻
I wish all of us luck in our treatment and no more flare-ups. But from now on, our constant companion is the diet (Diet 5) 🤘🏻💪🏻👍🏻

Hello everyone! I'm suffering from chronic cholecystitis...(( I'm so tired. The pain isn't too bad, but the nausea... it's awful, I can't stand it anymore. I'm taking immortelle and Duspatalin. I can't sleep at night, I wake up shivering, constantly thinking about food—how I'll eat it, how nauseous I feel. I've lost weight. I want to gain it back. How??? I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to ask for some sedatives. I don't know what to eat...

On pancreatitis and spasms

Hello, I've been diagnosed with cholecystitis, pancreatitis, polycystic left kidney, and I'm also taking anti-tuberculosis medications. I don't know what to do, please help, advise me. I'm 25 years old with two small children, and I want to live.

Hi. I decided to share my experience in treating pancreatitis. After consuming a large amount of fatty food, I had a pancreatitis attack. Even pharmacy medications didn't relieve the pain, but ground flax seeds helped—half a teaspoon in the morning and at night, along with unsweetened jelly. Give it a try; it worked very quickly for me, when even painkillers didn't help. Wishing everyone good health.

Hello. My name is Emma. I am 56 years old. I was also hospitalized with an exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis. The flare-up was treated, and I was discharged, but I've been suffering for three months now. I was told that my pain is due to my liver. I was prescribed Ursosan and Phosphogliv. It seems a bit better, but I'm losing weight very quickly. I've lost 35 kg in three months. If I eat even a little, the pain starts. Can someone please tell me exactly what I can eat during remission?

I just recovered from acute pancreatitis – 10 days in the hospital on IV drips, cold compresses, fasting for 3 days, and complete rest. After discharge: prescribed Pancreatin 10,000 units twice a day, but I take 50,000 units with meals several times a day, Omez twice a day, and Duspatalin for pain (it really helps). I've had my gallbladder removed and have type 2 diabetes. The diets conflict, and I'm struggling because my blood sugar spikes. Never drink wine, whether homemade or store-bought. My doctor told me: don't eat lard and don't drink vodka. I agree with him.

Guys and girls, lately I've been complaining about pain in my pancreas and indigestion. What are the first steps I should take?

You need a diet. You probably don't eat properly at work, just grabbing whatever's available, and this could lead to serious problems for you later on.

I'm already following it, no need to teach me. I'm aware of my health and have, so to speak, "found the right path." But my digestive system still acts up, and I can't always stick to it.

It's really great that you've started paying attention to your diet. If that's not enough, you probably need to take a course of some enzyme medication. When I had pancreatitis, I took Pangrol, and I was very satisfied with it. I gradually reduced the dosage, my pancreas got to rest, and slowly I was able to wean off the enzymes.

My doctor also recommended Pangrol, and my condition has already improved with its use.

Please tell me, how quickly did Duspatalin help you? On the first day of taking it?

Hello, I took Duspatalin for a month during a flare-up, it relieved the pain, but then the agonizing pain returned. After that, I went to the hospital.

I'm treating my pancreas with a decoction of celandine and burdock. It helps. I've slowly started doing housework again. I'm already eating without painkillers. Though I'm also taking Ursosan and Phosphogliv. You should try it. Boil 1 teaspoon of celandine and 1 teaspoon of burdock in 1 cup of water for a minute. Cool it, strain, and drink four times a day. That's every 4 hours. Make a fresh decoction every day. The course is two weeks. Take a month's break and then repeat.

Please write where and which doctor in Spain you were treated by!!!!!!Please, it's very important for my mom.
