I have been recently diagnosed with acute pancreatitis one week ago but experienced symptoms a month ago.. I have a few questions i forgot to ask my doctor.. I know you should eat no fats and a good diet but what happens when you eat fats? they go on yoir bloodstream pr something? Than what? Also .. I have galstones and getting them removed in 2 weeks… and to make my life suck more my 19th (legal in canada) bday is coming up.. Can i actually not drink alcohol? Haha .. Also.. Does pancreatitis stay with you forever? like if i eat healthy fir years then eat ba will it come back? Is it a disease? Thankyou for your help
Getting the gallstones or your gallbladder removed may solve all of this. The stones block the flow of enzymes and back up, causing the pancreas to become inflamed – thus "pancreatitis". unless you want to have a really severe bout with this, absolutely no alcohol is allowed, otherwise, you will pay dearly with pain. You need to go to WebMd.com and type in gallbladder disease and read up on that for dietary suggestions and then, type in pancreatitis and read up on that. You need to be very, very careful with foods right now to prevent another attack. This may all go away after your surgery but there are no guarantees.
