Is lemon available for pancreatitis?

Pancreatitis has an inflammatory process in the tissues of the pancreas.This is due to the fact that enzymes secreted by the body, instead of participating in the digestion of food in the intestine, undergo "early" activation in the gland itself and begin its destruction.
