How long to fast for patients with pancreatitis

Patients with pancreatitis need to fast for 1-3 days during the treatment of acute attacks, and the nutrition during the fasting period depends entirely on extra-gastrointestinal supply. 2-3 days later, they enter the recovery period, when they can eat liquid food without protein and fat, mainly lotus root powder and juice. Depending on the recovery, semi-liquid foods with less protein content can be eaten after about 1 week, and it is best to avoid fat-containing foods during this period. At the later stage of recovery, patients can gradually return to a normal diet if they do not have symptoms such as maladjustment, but they should pay attention to the amount of food intake, not too full, 7-8 minutes full is appropriate, and they can have small and frequent meals.
