Hello,
As per my surgical experience, the pancreatitis condition needs immense care with diet as well as medications.
- allow him to consume more liquids
- strict avoidance of fatty items including dairy products, chocolates,
pastries, non-veg, junk foods
- strict vegan diet is best
- organic fresh fruits help in digestion
- avoid smoking and alcohol if consuming at all.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
