Brief answer....you may start consuming whey protein
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Whey protein is a very nutritious protein powder and can definitely be consumed by you.
However you must start in low amount as higher amount can cause bloating in abdomen,cramps,thirst etc.
You can then gradually increase the amount of whey protein,over a period of few weeks.
I hope it helps however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks

Hello,
Yes it is safe.
There is no problem in consuming whey protein by a chronic pancreatitis patient as it a easily digestible protein as compared to proteins of red meat,chicken and most of legumes.
Proteins from milk like whey and casein as well as supplements derived from eggs or soybeans are easily digestible and can be consumed by chronic pancreatitis patients.
Make sure that you take only small amount to start with and dont load up your gut.
