Every year, this type of disease is diagnosed in more and more people. The pathology also occurs in adolescents. There are many reasons for the development of pancreatitis, from alcohol abuse, overweight, to gallstone disease. Therefore, it is very important to follow a diet during the illness.
Importance of enzymes in digestion
For normal digestion, pancreatic fluid produced by the pancreas is required. In addition, the liquid protects against the harmful effects of hydrochloric acid. Contains enzymes that break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats. If this does not happen, then most of the food taken is not beneficial to the body.
The liquid contains 4 enzymes. They are distinguished in 3 stages, the activation of which occurs approximately in the first 30-60 minutes after eating. Then there is a gradual decrease in activity and literally in 3-4 hours everything returns to the initial level. If there are problems with the pancreas, then the activation of enzymes occurs very early, as a result of which an inflammatory process or pancreatitis begins.
Fatty foods, consequences of abuse
Fats are found in all foods, even fruits, albeit in minimal amounts. But most of all the fat is in the bacon and lard. For example, 70 g of lard covers the daily dose of fat that the body needs per day. It is clear that no one will limit himself to just a few pieces of bacon a day.
Some products have hidden surprises. For example, Doctor sausage contains 40% fat, although it is considered dietary. These products include popcorn, sauces, yogurt and convenience foods.
Nutritionists advise not to consume more than 1 g of fat per 1 kg of human weight. If the norm is not observed, then overweight begins, which adversely affects all human organs, including the pancreas. Scientists have also been able to prove that fatty food excites the pleasure center of the brain and as a result, even if a person stops consuming fat, he can not get enough ordinary food.
Ways to get rid of pain
Pancreatitis is associated with pain in the hypochondrium. It starts after eating. This can be accompanied by weakness, belching, nausea, and even bowel discomfort. The first step, if an attack has started, is to take antispasmodic medication, if you know which ones. If the attack is severe, then it is better to call doctors.After two days it is better to stay in the rest of the bed for 2 days. Ice can be applied to the hypochondrium. Until the attack passes, you should not eat, just drink water, which should be warm.
If vomiting is present, it is better to vomit, it will immediately become much easier. It is best to breathe shallowly, holding your breath periodically.
