Pancreatitis is an inflammatory process in the pancreas. The outflow of bile is disrupted, as a result of which the glandular enzymes do not enter the duodenum and remain in it. The pancreas gradually begins to collapse, threatening even death.
Every year, more and more people are diagnosed with this type of disease. Pathology even occurs in adolescents. There are many reasons for the development of pancreatitis, ranging from alcohol abuse, overweight, to gallstone disease. That is why it is very important to follow a diet during illness.
Importance of enzymes in food digestion
For normal food digestion, it is the pancreas that needs to be produced in the pancreas. In addition, the juice protects against the harmful effects of hydrochloric acid. It contains enzymes that break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats. If this does not happen, then most of the food that arrives does not benefit the body.
The library contains 4 enzymes. They stand out in 3 stages, which are activated as much as possible for the first 30-60 minutes after eating. Then there is a gradual reduction in activity and literally in 3-4 hours everything goes back to the initial stage. If there are problems with the pancreas, then the enzymes activate too early, as a result of which the inflammatory process or pancreatitis begins.
Fatty foods, the consequences of abuse
Fats are found in all foods, even fruits, albeit in small amounts. But most of all the fat is in bacon and lard. For example, 70 g of pork covers the daily dose of fat your body needs per day. It is clear that not one person is limited to just a few pieces of bacon a day.
Some products have been accidentally hidden. For example, the "Doctor's" sausage contains 40% fat, although it is considered a diet. These products include popcorn, sauces, yogurt and convenience.
Nutritionists advise not to consume more than 1 g of fat per 1 kg of body weight. If the norm is not followed, obesity begins, which has a negative effect on all human organs, including the pancreas. Scientists have also been able to find that fatty foods stimulate the brain's pleasure center, and as a result, even if one stops consuming fat, he can not get enough of ordinary food.
Ways to Get Rid of Pain
Pancreatitis is accompanied by hypotensive pain. It starts after eating. This can be accompanied by weakness, abdominal pain, nausea and even bowel movements. The first step, if an attack is started, is to take antispasmodics, if you know what. If the attack is serious, it is better to call the doctors.
After these two days it is best to stick to the rest for 2 days. Ice can be applied to hypotension. Until the attack passes, you should not eat, only drink water, which should be hot.
If vomiting is present it is better to vomit, it will be much easier immediately. It is best to breathe shallowly and hold your breath regularly.
