@missingthebeach welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I’m not aware of particular dietary recommendations in regards to pancreatitis. I think the first priority is to manage the pain associated with it, treat the cause, then work on diet. I could be wrong about that, but that was the process for folks that I’ve known who have had pancreatitis. I’ve wondered about it for myself a couple of times. I’ve had severe abdominal pain that went through to my back and the first thing were tests (scans & lab work) to rule out pancreatitis. It turned out I had other GI diagnoses (gastroparesis and diverticulitis) that required different treatments involving dietary considerations. But don’t you think it is important to get a “definitive diagnosis” first? Once you know what you’re dealing with your Drs can recommend appropriate treatment including pain management and beneficial dietary interventions.
