Patient's question:
My father has pancreatitis and is now hospitalized. I'm very worried, but I'm also away from home. I'll come back this week to bring him some fruits. Is pancreatitis very serious? I'm feeling really sad, so I just wanted to ask what fruits cannot be eaten with pancreatitis?Doctor's answer:
Pancreatitis requires fasting and no water intake; the patient cannot eat anything, and fruits should not be brought. Pancreatitis is dangerous, especially severe pancreatitis, where large areas of the pancreas become inflamed, the condition is critical, and strict fasting and water restriction, continuous gastrointestinal detoxification, and surgical treatment may be necessary if needed. Pancreatitis is caused by factors such as excessive alcohol consumption, overeating, hypertriglyceridemia, cholecystitis, and gallstones, leading to pancreatic inflammatory lesions.
