Principles of Diet for Pancreatitis
The pancreatitis diet aims to minimize pancreas stimulation, reduce inflammation and ensure that the body receives the necessary nutrients, usually focused on:

Low fat content: This is the main pillar. Fats require more pancreas work to digest.
Complex carbohydrates and lean proteins: power sources and tissue repair.
Easy digestion foods: Lightly prepared (cooked, grilled, baked, steam).
Hydration: Fundamental for recovery.
Avoid alcohol: Alcohol is one of the biggest triggers for pancreatitis.
Foods to avoid strictly:


Fats: Frying, fatty meat (bacon, sausage, ham, sausage), butter, margarine, excess oils, avocado, coconut, mayonnaise, creams, fat cheese (mozzarella, dish, Parmesan).
Ultra -processed foods: snacks, fast food, ready -made frozen (lasagna, breaded).
Sugars and Sweets: Chocolate, creamy ice cream, cakes, puddings, jellies.
Alcoholic beverages.
Foods that stimulate the gut/spicy: coffee, peppers, curry, very spicy sauces, whole dairy products.
Excessive insoluble fibers (acute phase): raw leaves, bran, brown rice (can be reintroduced with caution in the chronicle).
Foods generally recommended (in moderation and good preparation):
Skinny dairy: skim milk, skim yogurt, white cheeses (ricotta, cottage).
Easy digestion cereals and tubers: white rice, white pasta, white bread, mashed potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes (boiled).
Lean meats: eggs, fish (tilapia, merluza, hake), chicken breast/turkey (without skin), duckling (lean cuts). Prepared grilled, baked, boiled, steam.


BOOKED vegetables: pumpkin, chayote, carrot, beetroot, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, pod.
Cooked/mature fruits: apple, pear, banana, papaya, peach, pineapple (without peel and without bagasse, if in the early phase).
Vegetable Fats: Small olive oil, used to finish or cook slightly.
Soft herbs and spices: parsley, chives, coriander, oregano, basil, rosemary (avoid peppers and strong spices).
Drinks: Water, coconut water, soft herbal teas.
Example of simple and lightweight revenue for patients with pancreatitis:
Let’s focus on something very mild, ideal for recovery phases or for the management of chronic pancreatitis.

Creamy pumpkin and chicken soup (low fat content)
This soup is comforting, nutritious and smooth for the digestive system.

Ingredients:

2 cups (approx. 300g) of pumpkin
100 g of skinless chicken breast, cut into very small cubes
½ small, finely bite onion
1 garlic clove, chopped (optional, if well tolerated)
3-4 cups of homemade chicken or vegetable, fat-free (or low sodium) vegetable
1-2 tablespoons of skim milk (or vegetable rice/sugar-free oats)
Salt to taste (little)
Chopped fresh parsley to decorate (optional)

Utensils:

Medium pan
Blender or hand mixer
Instructions:

Cook the chicken: In a pan, put the chicken breast cubes with a little water or broth and cook until white and soft. Remove the chicken and set aside. If there is foam, remove it.
Cook the pumpkin and aromatic: in the same pan (or in a new one, if you prefer), put the chopped onion and the garlic (if you use) with a little broth (or a drop of olive oil, if tolerated) and saute over low heat until the onion becomes translucent.

Add the chopped pumpkin and the rest of the broth to the pan. Take to boil and then reduce the fire, cooking until the pumpkin is very soft (about 15-20 minutes).
Beat the soup: With a hand blender (or carefully transfer to a traditional blender), beat the soup until a creamy and homogeneous consistency.

Finish: Return the crashed soup to the pan. Add the skim milk (or vegetable drink) and mix. Add the cooked and chopped chicken to the soup.
Adjust salt with great caution. Remember that the broth can already have salt.
Heat the soup for a few more minutes until it is very hot, but no boiling vigorously.
Serve immediately, decorating with chopped fresh parsley if you wish.
IMPORTANT REMEMBER:
This is just a recipe suggestion. The pancreatitis diet should be established and accompanied by a doctor and nutritionist, as it varies greatly from person to person, depending on the disease phase (acute or chronic), gravity and individual tolerance. In acute crises, fasting and probe feeding may be required.
