The time to resume normal diet after discharge from hospital for pancreatitis cannot be generalized, it is related to the severity of pancreatitis, individual’s physical condition, and the patient’s recovery, usually about 6 months~1 year, it is recommended to ask the attending doctor. The severity of pancreatitis determines the time to resume normal diet after discharge from the hospital. Mild pancreatitis, such as edematous pancreatitis, can generally resume normal diet in about 6 months, after which light and easy-to-digest food should be eaten, otherwise it will easily lead to increased secretion of pancreatic fluid and slow down the recovery of the pancreas. In severe forms of pancreatitis, such as hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis, it takes longer to return to a normal diet. Young adults with no underlying disease recover faster, while older patients or those with chronic diseases recover slower and take longer to resume a normal diet after discharge from the hospital. Patients are advised to follow up with their doctor to observe the recovery of the pancreas and to eat under the doctor’s supervision, and it is advisable to ask the attending doctor about the exact time of resumption of the diet.
