Suggest Diet While Recovering From Pancreatitis
YYYY@YYYY THANK YOU
Supportive care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Pancreatitis recent attack should be managed with supportive care. Alcohol, dehydration, spices, fatty foods, soda, beverages, processed canned foods, smoking etc all should be avoided. More fluids, soft diet and the nutrients you mentioned are fine. Metformin is not wise to use in an old man with recent pancreatitis as it can worsen GI symptoms and should be switched to some other class of oral hypoglycemics like sulfonylureas or DPPI.
Weight loss is significant though and with history of cancer in family, ASAP work up and CT abdomen along with other markers should be done to rule out any sinister pathology underneath.
I hope it helps. Take good care of your husband and of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
