Nutrition for chronic pancreatitis and cholecystitis: a diet during an exacerbation
Proper nutrition in chronic pancreatitis will help significantly reduce the number of exacerbations. The diet significantly reduces the risk of complicating pancreatitis, in which the bile ducts narrow, and sometimes completely clogged. This leads to premature maturation of enzymes, which, when activated, begin to involuntarily digest the pancreas itself. During this period, there is an exacerbation of the disease.
Interdependence of organs
Chronic pancreatitis is often accompanied by gallbladder inflammation. The organs are different, but they perform a similar function. The gallbladder accumulates bile, which comes from the liver. And then it gives out portionwise in the process of digestion. With cholecystitis, stagnation of bile in the bladder occurs, resulting in an exacerbation.
With the normal functioning of these two organs, the intestine is able to process the resulting food. If only one of these organs fails, a complete imbalance of digestion occurs. Pancreatic juice can get into the gallbladder, it inevitably causes the erosion of its walls. Therefore, doctors note that with chronic pancreatitis cholecystitis is highly likely.
