Butter in pancreatitis
is a high-calorie dairy product that contains a lot of fat. And for their splitting, the involvement of the pancreas is required, which in pancreatitis can not fully produce the necessary enzymes for normal digestion. During the exacerbation, not only butter, but also other oils( sesame, vegetable, olive) should be completely excluded from the patient's diet.
But during the period of persistent remission, it is not necessary to refuse to consume oil, as it can contribute to a speedy recovery. However, you should not abuse it.
Benefits of
Butter contains vitamins such as A, D and E that take part in the structure of hair, nails and skin, as well as cellular metabolic processes, facilitating the rapid regeneration of damaged cells. Therefore, this product, even despite the high percentage of fat, with pancreatitis is very useful.
In addition, it contains a lot of phosphorus, calcium and phospholipids, and besides it is a very nutritious product and is well absorbed by the body.
But there is one "but".This product contains a lot of cholesterol, which negatively affects the work of all internal organs and slows down metabolic processes in the body. But this happens only when you abuse these foods. But in fact, cholesterol is an important enzyme in our body, as it is a "building material" for many hormones and bile acids.
Which oil is allowed?
As mentioned earlier, this wonderful product is not completely excluded from the diet, as it contains many useful substances. Therefore, it is necessary to talk about what kinds of oils are allowed in pancreatitis. As for vegetable oil, we have already found out that it can be included in the diet, but in limited quantities. But vegetable oils must be treated with caution. For example, sea buckthorn oil should never be eaten in pancreatitis, since it has a laxative effect and irritatively affects the mucous pancreas.
But sesame oil, on the contrary, has a beneficial effect on the digestive tract. In addition to enhancing the immune system, sesame oil also reduces acidity in the stomach, which, accordingly, is favorable for the digestive system.
In addition to the fact that sesame oil can be included in the diet of the patient, it is also recommended to use other types - olive, corn and cotton. But add them to food you need in small quantities, because they also contain a lot of cholesterol.
Also useful for pancreatitis will be castor and fir oils, which mix with each other and drop 10 drops into a small piece of sugar, which must then be immediately consumed.
It is not necessary to add sunflower oil when making dishes, as it is prepared from the seed of a sunflower, which contains many enzymes harmful to the pancreas. Sunflower oil can cause heartburn, nausea, bloating in the abdomen and discomfort. Therefore, it is better to replace it with sesame or some other.
There is a lot of talk today about the benefits of black cumin oil, which can cure various diseases, including pancreatitis. However, this product is strictly prohibited during the acute phase and also continues to be banned for 3 to 4 months after the syndrome has been relieved.
Seeds of black cumin have a pronounced choleretic property, which can cause serious complications in pancreatitis. In addition, the seeds of black cumin contain essential oils that provoke the production of gastric and pancreatic enzymes, which is also dangerous in inflammation of the pancreas.
But in the phase of persistent remission, the consumption of black cumin oil can be, and moreover it will have a completely positive effect on the body. It helps reduce blood sugar, which is a positive quality in cases of insulin production disorders. In addition, the seeds of black cumin contain substances that prevent the development of diseases of the cardiovascular system and atherosclerosis. And also the seeds of black cumin favorably influence the hormonal background and prevent its frustration.
But since the seeds of black cumin have such properties as a diuretic and increasing appetite, it should be used very carefully and in small amounts( not more than 1 tsp per day).
Selecting oil
As for the choice of butter, there is no need to look for a product with a low fat content. Dairy products, the fat content of which is below 70%, are not of high quality. By standards, this product should contain more than 70% fat and the more, the better.
However, GOST allows the production of oils with a lower fat content( at least 60%), but they contain additives and various flavors, which negatively affect the pancreas. The product packaging should have the name "oil", and not other combinations of this word, indicating the addition of preservatives to the product.
The choice of vegetable oils also requires special skills. Sesame oil has a dark rich color. If its color seems to you a little lighter or it will be cloudy, it is better to refrain from buying this product.
The same goes for olive and other oils. The liquid should be transparent and not have any deposits on the bottom of the vessel.
Use in diseases of the pancreas
Butter is consumed no more than 30 grams per day, while this amount can not be eaten at a time, but it needs to be divided into several equal parts and eaten in several receptions.
Store this product in a tight package and remove darkened areas before use. Use it in a cold form with pancreatitis is not recommended. It is better to use it as an additive to cereals to enhance taste.
Use butter only if there are no abdominal pains or other manifestations of the disease. It is also recommended that you consult with your doctor beforehand to prevent the exacerbation of pancreatitis.
