Suggest A Diet Plan While Treating Acute Pancreatitis In A Down Syndrome Patient
I HAVE A 48 YEAR OLD DOWN SYNDRONE MALE WITH ACUTE PANCREATITIS. HE HAS TO BE GLUTEN FREE BUT HAS NO TEETH AND WE ARE VERY LIMITIED ON THE FOODS HE CAN HAVE TO EAT HE HAS BEEN IN HOSPITAL 4 TIMES WITH EPISODES OF PANCREATITIS. GASTRO DOCTOR DID ENDOSCOPY AND FOUND PANCREAS WAS DRYING UP (SHIVERLING UP) SAID THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE DONE EXCEPT TRY TO KEEP HIM COMFORTABLE. HOW LONG CAN HE LIVE LIKE THIS. OUR FOODS ARE VERY LIMITED.
