My understanding is that everyone differs when it comes to food they can tolerate or not tolerate but my doctor has suggested me to avoid anything which could exhaust my pancreas such as alcohol, smoking, all fried food, added sugars and non-complex carbs. I was also told that red meat is a possible carcinogen, especially toxic to pancreas so I try to build my diet around lean protein, veggies, legumes and low sugar fruits. Hope that helps.
