Pancreatitis is a disease caused by the self digestion of trypsin in the pancreas. It can be divided into acute and chronic. To prevent pancreatitis, we should first pay attention to the moderation of diet and avoid overeating. Overeating is particularly easy to cause the onset of diseases such as pancreatitis and cholecystitis. Pancreatitis focuses on prevention. It can be prevented whether it is the first acute attack or the acute attack of chronic pancreatitis. The main link of prevention is to pay attention to diet. Experts said that patients with pancreatitis should not drink alcohol, but drink in moderation. Don't eat too full, don't eat too greasy, especially at night. Patients with chronic pancreatitis should eat less and more meals at ordinary times. Eat 4 ~ 6 meals a day, reduce the amount of each meal, quit greasy, quit smoking and alcohol.

In case of acute attack, of course, you should see the emergency department immediately. According to the doctor's advice, you should generally fast and don't eat. After the condition was controlled, the diet was gradually restored. Usually, after an acute attack, it takes two weeks to a month to prohibit eating greasy food, and the amount of protein should be controlled, not too much. For example, eat up to one egg a day and remove the egg yolk. Then, gradually return to normal diet. At the same time, experts remind that even if patients with pancreatitis resume their normal diet, they should mainly eat low-fat foods, such as bean products, fish, shrimp, eggs and some lean meat. It is best to quit smoking and alcohol for life to prevent the recurrence of the disease.
