Pancreatitis is a disease of the pancreas, during which the cells of the organ are destroyed by its own enzymes. In the deterioration phase, the gland cells are destroyed, in the remission phase, connective tissue is formed at the site of the dead cells. This greatly disrupts the work of the pancreas. The most common causes of pancreatitis are alcohol abuse and eating disorders, and therefore treatment should begin with food.
Dietary recommendations for each patient should be selected individually, depending on the severity of the condition, the stage of the disease, food intolerance and concomitant diseases. The menu below for pancreatitis is appropriate for the remission phase (i. e. , for the period when there is no deterioration), and will help to avoid the next deterioration.

To make the sweet pilaf suitable for a patient with pancreatitis, exclude from it nuts, blueberries and reduce the amount of sugar to 1 tablespoon.

Hot spices should be excluded from recipes.
