Indian Diet plan for Pancreatitis (Acute and Chronic Pancreatitis Food List)

Last Updated on March 5, 2021 | RD, Payal Banka (Registered Dietitian) 7 Comments

Our body is a beautiful creation of nature. It is so complicated yet it functions effortlessly in healthy conditions. The backbone of this efficient functioning is the endocrine system in the body. The endocrine system is a network of glands that produces hormones that help cells function appropriately. The pancreas is one such endocrine gland that manages our blood glucose levels. Read on to know about the Indian Diet plan for Pancreatitis (Acute and Chronic Pancreatitis Food List).

All About Pancreatitis:

What is Pancreatitis?

The pancreas is a long, flat gland situated in the upper abdomen. Its functions are:

  • Release digestive enzymes into the small intestine. Hence it helps to digest food.
  • Release insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream. These hormones help your body control how it uses glucose as fuel for energy.

Pancreatitis occurs when digestive enzymes get activated while still in the pancreas. It irritates the cells of the pancreas, hence causing inflammation. The inflammation of the pancreas is known as pancreatitis.

Types of Pancreatitis

The two forms of pancreatitis are acute and chronic.

  1. Acute Pancreatitis: Acute pancreatitis is sudden inflammation lasting for a very short time. On-time treatment leads to faster recovery.
  2. Chronic Pancreatitis: With the repeated occurrence of acute pancreatitis, there is constant damage to the pancreas leading to chronic pancreatitis.

Symptoms of Pancreatitis:

Symptoms of acute pancreatitis

  • High temperature.
  • Increased heart rate.
  • Nausea and vomiting.
  • Bloating.
  • Upper abdomen pain radiating towards the back. The pain worsens after a high-fat diet.

Symptoms of chronic pancreatitis

  • Constant upper abdominal pain radiating towards the back.
  • Diarrhea, because there is incomplete food digestion.
  • Indigestion causing weight loss.
  • Vomiting especially after meals.

 

 Causes of Pancreatitis:

Acute pancreatitis causes include:

  • Autoimmune diseases: It leads to damage to its own cells causing scarring and inflammation.
  • Alcohol abuse: Binge drinking in a short period of time leads to acute pancreatitis.
  • Repeated Infections: Reoccurrence of infections overworks the pancreas, hence leading to inflammation.
  • Gallstones: It blocks the duct that releases the pancreatic enzymes. Hence, leading to enzymes digesting the pancreatic cells.
  • Metabolic disorders: Metabolic disorders like long-standing diabetes exhaust the pancreatic cells leading to pancreatitis.
  • Trauma: Any trauma to the pancreas can lead to its inflammation.
  1. Chronic pancreatitis causes include:

  • Family history: It can be heredity.
  • Gallstones: Repeated gall stones lead to chronic inflammation of the pancreas. (Read about cholecystectomy)
  • High triglycerides: Excess triglycerides above 1000 mg/dl lead to inflammation of the pancreas.
  • Alcohol abuse: Pancreas metabolizes alcohol into a toxic metabolic by-product that is harmful to the pancreatic cell. The enzymes before release start digesting the pancreatic cells leading to chronic pancreatitis.

Complications of long-standing or untreated pancreatitis:

  • Diabetes Mellitus: The inflammation can damage the cells of the pancreas affecting insulin and glucagon secretion.
  • Pancreatic infection: Acute pancreatitis weakens the pancreatic cells making them prone to infections.
  • Malnutrition: Damage in pancreatic cells affects the secretion of digestive enzymes. Lack of enzymes results in less nutrient absorption and indigestion. This leads to malnutrition, diarrhea, and weight loss.
  • Pancreatic cancer: Long-term inflammation makes the cells prone to scarring of the tissue. This might be a risk factor for developing pancreatic cancer.
  • Pancreatic necrosis: Pancreatic cells die because of damage to pancreatic cells.
  • Pseudocyst: Acute pancreatitis can cause fluid and debris retention in the pancreatic cells leading to its infection known as a pseudocyst. It can burst and infect the pancreas and also lead to internal bleeding.

 What is the treatment for Pancreatitis:

  • The infected pancreas needs antibiotics.
  • Food intake is not up to the mark, thus intravenous fluids are given.
  • There is indigestion, Hence a low-fat diet or liquid diet is preferable.

Dietary Management

Acute or chronic pancreatitis treatment includes similar dietary tips to manage pancreatic health.

  • The pancreas might increase the acid secretion in the stomach. Hence, It is generally accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
  • Excess water in the intestines can lead to diarrhea.
  • The digestion and absorption of nutrients are affected because of the defect in pancreatic enzyme activity.
  • Lack of fat digestion might also lead to fatty stool or steatorrhoea. Thus, a low-fat or no visible fat diet is apt to treat both types of pancreatitis.

Acute and Chronic Pancreatitis Food List; Food to Eat:

Here is a list of foods to include in the Pancreatic Diet. The diet for managing pancreatitis has to be moderate in protein, with low or no visible fat, as well as a moderate amount of complex carbohydrates.

  • Proteins: Consume a moderate amount of lean protein or good quality proteins. Include lean chicken, fish, low-fat milk and products, egg whites, nuts, as well as defatted soy. Lentils, dals, sprouts, and beans.
  • Fats: Consume low-fat milk and products, good quality fats, MCT oils like coconut, kernel oil, or ghee.
  • Carbohydrates: Consume a variety of fruits and vegetables. Include whole-grain cereals, millets, bran, psyllium, as well as unrefined flours.
  • Antioxidant-rich foods: Include enough fruits, vegetables, nuts that contain antioxidants. It reduces stress on the gland and helps in better recovery and prognosis.

Acute and Chronic Pancreatitis Food List; Foods to avoid:

  • High-fat foods: Avoid fatty, fried foods. As well as organ meat, and junk as it contains a very high amount of fats. Avoid full-fat milk and its products. A high-fat diet puts a load on pancreatic enzyme secretion and action. Avoid trans fats in the diet.
  • Refined foods: Junk, refined flours, sugar, as well as all strained juices demand for pancreatic enzymes for digestion and absorption.

 

Indian Diet plan for Pancreatitis (Acute and Chronic Pancreatitis Food List)

Indian Diet plan for Acute Pancreatitis

Acute pancreatitis needs a very strict diet that is low or has no fat. Initially, the patients are kept NBM (nil by mouth ). When the pain and symptoms subside, (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or GI disturbances), We start with a liquid diet. Start with soft food only when the liquid diet is well accepted by the body.

Sample Diet for Acute Pancreatitis: (Liquid no fat diet)

Early Morning: Lemon Water (No sugar)

Breakfast: 1 glass Coconut water

Lunch: Blended dal

Evening Snack: Mix vegetable and fruit juice Or buttermilk

Dinner: Blended rawa Kanji

Bed Time: Low fat Almond milk with turmeric

 

Indian Diet plan for Chronic Pancreatitis:

Chronic pancreatitis requires a normal low-fat diet with changes or modifications according to the symptoms.

Sample Diet for Chronic Pancreatitis:

Early Morning: 1 teaspoon Soaked jeera seeds in 1 cup water

Breakfast: 1 cup Green Tea + 2 Steamed idli or 1 Plain Dosa with sambar

Mid-Morning: 1 Fruit

Lunch: 1 cup Vegetable Soup + 2 Chapati + 1 cup Vegetable + 1 cup Low fat Curd

Mid Afternoon: 1 cup Steamed rice + 1 cup Dal

Evening Snack: 1 cup low-fat Cinnamon Milk + 1 cup Upma or Rawa Appam

Dinner: 1 cup Soft cooked Rice + 1 cup Sambar + 1 cup vegetable juice

Bed Time: 1 cup low-fat milk

 

What to Eat After Pancreatitis Episode: 

  • The first rule of pancreatitis is to avoid alcohol and smoking. Alcohol and smoking have a direct effect on pancreatic damage.
  • Keep yourself hydrated at all times. Nausea vomiting or any gastric issues might lead to dehydration.
  • Eat small frequent meals throughout the day. This decreases the load on the pancreas. Acute pancreatitis might require only a liquid diet initially and then a soft diet as the symptoms reduce. Chronic pancreatitis that occurs after repeated acute pancreatitis requires a low-fat diet under the guidance of professionals.
  • Eat fruits and vegetables as normal but avoid excess fiber intake in a single meal. It might lead to bloating or any other gastric issue further worsening the pancreatitis symptoms.
  • Use MCTs as a source of visible oil so it doesn’t require pancreatic enzymes for digestion. Coconut oil, palm kernel oil, or ghee would be the best option to use.
  • Include multivitamin supplements along with the diet. The diet has to be low fat or no visible fat diet for faster recovery of the pancreas.

EndNote:

In any condition, acute or chronic saving pancreatic function is the main aim. The main goal of the pancreatic diet is to alleviate the symptoms and not put extra workload on the pancreas. The moderate protein low-fat diet with a sufficient amount of fiber does the trick.

Previous Post: «Increasing your metabolism is the key to weight loss. Top 10 foods to boost the metabolism. How to boost Metabolism? Top 10 foods that improve metabolism for weight loss. Is it possible to boost metabolism for weight loss? Signs that show you have a slow metabolism and much more are in this article. Eating fewer calories, increasing daily activity, sound sleep, and stress-free life initiates our weight loss journey. The basic principle for weight loss is to burn more calories than you consume. This negative energy balance pushes your body to use up stored fats as fuel. The more calories you burn, the more weight you lose. How to Boost Metabolism? Each and every activity that you perform utilizes calories. Similarly, you burn calories when you digest food. When you digest food, it releases energy in form of heat. This is known as the thermogenic effect of food. This thermogenic effect leads to an increase in metabolism and in turn you tend to burn more calories. The higher the thermogenic effect, the more calories you burn, and it results in more weight loss. Hence, foods that have high thermogenic energy play a vital role in weight loss. Hence, if you are worried about how to boost your metabolism, then let us see the top 10 foods that boost metabolism for weight Loss. Top 10 Foods That Boost Metabolism for Weight Loss Protein-rich foods: Lean meat, egg, fish, poultry, dairy, soy, legumes, and lentils are protein-rich foods. These proteins need more energy to get digested and have a high thermogenic effect, thus helping in increasing the body’s metabolism. Proteins have the highest thermogenic effect compared to cereals and fats. These high-protein diets also prevent any weight loss plateau as they prevent a drop in the body’s metabolism. The protein in the food helps to keep you full for longer and prevent binge eating in the next meal. Oats: Oats are a very healthy option for breakfast. Oats are rich in fiber and beta-glucan. These properties help in high satiation, reduction in cholesterol, and aids in weight loss. Oats require a high energy supply for their digestion, thus, it is the best option to kick-start your day. Consuming oats in the morning keeps your metabolism high throughout the day. Methi seeds: A weight loss diet is incomplete without methi seeds. These seeds are an integral part of Indian cooking too. Methi seeds are rich in galactomannan, which is a water-soluble fiber. Always consume methi seeds early in the morning that are soaked overnight. The fiber is water soluble, which helps in boosting the metabolism, reduces the appetite, and has a high satiation value. Green tea: Green tea contains flavonoids namely epigallocatechin gallate and caffeine. These substances tend to increase the metabolic rate of the body. You need a minimum of three to five cups of green tea a day to get desired effects. Oxidative stress makes the metabolism sluggish. Green tea is also rich in antioxidants that keep stress hormones in check and thereby reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Cinnamon: Cinnamon is not just the spice that adds a sweet nutty flavor to your foods but also helps in weight loss. Every Indian spice has its own importance. Cinnamon is said to increase your body’s metabolism, prevents blockage in arteries, and maintain skin integrity. On an empty stomach, you can consume ¼ th teaspoon cinnamon powder with 1 cup lukewarm water early in the morning. It also corrects insulin sensitivity and helps to maintain blood sugars. Dark green leafy vegetables: Dark green leafy vegetables are high in iron and magnesium. Iron helps to boost metabolism and magnesium is involved in majority of the processes in the body. Consume at least 2 – 3 servings of dark green leafy vegetables daily. Dark green leafy vegetables are also high in oxalates. It is advisable to consume it in cooked form and add lemon juice for maximum benefits. Chilli Peppers: Chilli peppers contain a substance called capsaicin which is observed to boost body’s metabolism. Capsaicin when eaten increases the rate of metabolism by increasing the body’s temperature. As less as 1 jalapeno can also give that jump start to the metabolism. Chilli pepper containing foods makes you eat less and aids in additional weight loss. The fuel that chilli peppers use is mainly by breaking down fats. Water: For weight loss we concentrate so much on food that we tend to forget that water is also very important. Drinking less water leads to dehydration. With dehydration, fats become the last source of fuel utilized for fuel. Water boosts the metabolism by almost 30 – 35%. Cold water when consume tends to use more calories to get digested as it is first brought to the body’s temperature and then absorbed. The only issue with water is that it increases the metabolism for a very short span of time. Thus, it is important to sip on your water as often as possible. Selenium rich foods: Iron and selenium work parallel in the body. Selenium and iron balance the thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone is one of the hormones that regulate the body’s metabolism. Selenium deficiency might lead to hypothyroidism and lower the body’s metabolism. Include selenium rich foods in your diet like seafood, legumes, nuts and seeds. Ginger: Ginger powder if consumed with warm water helps to boost body’s metabolism. Even fresh ginger concoction helps in weight loss and manages blood sugar levels. Ginger has high thermogenic effect. Ginger water when consumed just before meals helps to burn more calories than you consume. Ginger helps to increase the satiation of the food and prevent overeating during the meals. You can try adding lemon juice in ginger tea or add ginger in green tea for its benefits. Too much of ginger might cause hyper acidity, thus do not consume more than 2 – 4 gms on a day. Eating healthy diet is an art. Smartly selecting foods that lead to weight loss will help to avoid the weight loss plateaus. Regular consumption of foods that increase our metabolism aids in weight loss and also maintains the target weight. Always remember to consult a professional before starting any new diet or changing the eating habits. Indian High Protein Low Carb Food Chart For Weight Loss

      Hi Kumar , tingling sensation is common due to neuropathy in uncontrolled diabetes . the best way is to bring your sugar in control. the foods you mentioned are low carb , and hence you dnt get the skin irritation wehn you eat these . also its best to show a neurologist and consult him for this , to scan the level of damage and how to restore it. if it is just the beginning , it will go awaya with proper diet and lifestyle changes.
