High-Fat Foods
Steering clear of greasy or fried foods is important for overall health and to improve life quality. If you do not want to get malnourished and experience pancreatitis-related pains, you should avoid high-fat foods. Chocolate, whole milk, ice cream, processed cheese, and egg yolks have high amounts of unhealthy fats. These foods tend to irritate the pancreas.
They include red meat, organ meat (offals), French fries, potato chips, dairy mayonnaise, margarine, or butter. Nuts and nutty butter are rich plant-based protein sources, but the high-fat content can worsen pancreatitis symptoms.
Nuts and Seeds
Do not take nutty or seedy foods because they can be difficult to digest and can further irritate your pancreas. They are good sources of protein, but they have a high-fat content that can worsen your symptoms. We’re not saying to cut off nuts completely from your diet, but taking them in careful portions can let you enjoy the health benefits of unsaturated fats. They are also packed with nutrients that help improve insulin sensitivity.
