Avatar f tn Low-fat homemade diets To make a low-fat homemade diet, feed about half carbohydrates, and half low-fat meat, eggs, and dairy. The percentage of carbs can be decreased, and the amount of meat increased, if you use very low-fat cuts, or boil them to remove most of the fat. The majority of the carbohydrates should be starchy foods, such as rice, oatmeal, barley, quinoa, pasta, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and winter squashes (e.g., acorn and butternut), to supply low-fat calories.
793908 tn?1294705109 m sure a little tiny bit of low-fat or fat free (?)cream cheese will be ok.ANYTHING to get the pills down her! Surely that very small amount of fat will be ok.But I wouldn't give her any more dairy after that. My dog's easy with pills. I wrap the pill in a little wholemeal bread, a tiny piece, and hold a second piece where she can see that. The first piece gets swallowed whole! then I give her the second piece.
1807187 tn?1316861276 In general, most docs tell patients who have acute pancreatitis to follow a liquid diet for a period of time then slowly transition to a soft diet that is very low in fat. That can be followed up by changing back to a 'regular' low fat diet. The digestive enzymes - Creon - will be used to help to digest the food you take in.
Avatar n tn Hi and thanks for your response! I am eating a very low fat diet. In fact I haven't branched out much with my diet as I'm afraid of another attack. I dont know if it was the chicken breast or maybe the overactivity but ended up in the hospital a couple of weeks ago with elevated amylase and lipase. The removal of the gallbladder really set things off for me.
Avatar n tn Very good recovery given that you avoid any alcohol intake, that includes mouthwash and nyquil. Also a low fat high carb diet is the best for this disease.
Avatar f tn It can both be triggered and made significantly worse by high fat content in the diet, which you probably know by now. The best approach is therefore to keep fats to a minimum, at least until the pancreatitis has been resolved, after which time you can re-introduce small amounts of fat - keeping a watch on blood levels to see if it flares up again. In the meantime, dogs still need energy from useful nutrition, so fats should be replaced with carbohydrates.
Avatar m tn Hi, I saw a post of a case similar to mine where the liver was affected as well as the pancreas with wieght gain instead of loss on a low fat diet. Im wondering what causes that especially in pancreatitis? I loss alot of weight a year ago, was real sick with abnormal bruising and weakness, falling down, ect, this was before pancreas started acting up again, prior to that I had only one acute episode of pancreatitis.
Avatar f tn I am a little concerned you have fed him ground beef. Even low-fat ground beef is actually high in fat. I would try to stick with the prescription diet for now, otherwise you may find getting your dog stable is an uphill struggle.
Avatar m tn s just had his GB out, he shoudl be following a low fat diet. In many individuals, they can have problems digesting fats due to a lack of bile release 'regulation.' It can cause a variety of symptoms. It can take awhile for a person's system to adjust and following a low fat diet can help in some cases.
1300834 tn?1273123354 You may have to do quite a bit of experimentation with diet before you land on an effective solution. Chronic pancreatitis can be managed with strict attention to low fat intake, but it's always possible for an acute attack to rear its ugly head with no warning. That's simply the nature of a twitchy pancreas. Once a dog (or human for that matter) has an acute episode, it's likely to happen again at some point - even years later.
611067 tn?1458591483 s a low-fat, low-sugar diet with complex carbs. On Friday night, I ate a sandwich with lean turkey, low-fat cream cheese and avocado. It was awesome and did not bother my stomach. I was told to keep the fat down 30 grams a day only. Saturday, I tried to eat dinner, but it hurt my stomach and so I stuck with SF/FF Jello instead and a Soy Protein drink. Last night I had a Soy Protein drink and a small sweet potato. I had no trouble. I'm gaining more energy from the food.
Avatar m tn For some reason, Cushingoid dogs are more prone to pancreatitis than normal dogs, so it will be important for you to keep your dog's diet very low in fat. You also want to keep the food low in fiber and high in potassium. Cushings medication makes it difficult for dogs to digest high fiber foods properly, and high potassium diets just give them more "oomph" when dealing with taking the necessary medications. What medications does you vet have your dog on?
Avatar f tn Pancreatitis is induced through too much fat in the diet. Of course, there is fat in all meats and poultry, so it is appropriate to reduce the fat content as much as possible, either through choosing the right manufactured dog food or through home cooking. Ideally, the fat content should not exceed 10% of any meal. Treats are also commonly high in fat so do be cautious about what you give as a treat.
Avatar n tn Boiled chicken is fine for now if he can keep it down. Pancreatitis is an extremely painful condition, and can crop up for a lot of different reasons. The classic case in dogs is a large, sudden intake of fat. My vet always gets pancreatitis cases in following holidays when the dogs get too many extra fatty "treats" from well-meaning family members or guests. Summer months are always the worst when people are cooking things like brisket and ribs.
Avatar f tn The doctors and surgeon never told me I had food/ alcohol restrictions so I had consumed a fair amount of alcohol Halloween weekend and ate a good amount of pumpkin seeds and the pain came while I was eating the seeds. They then told me I needed to be on a low fat diet and absolutely no alcohol. Since then I have been on a strict low-fat diet. I don’t eat anything over 3g and I have not touched alcohol since that Halloween weekend.
543435 tn?1282242679 If you have this disease then you are unable to digest a lot of food. Sticking to a low fat diet and taking specially prescribed enzymes to help digest food seems to help some people with this. Usually a diagnosis is made from an endoscopic ultrasound procedure or from CT scan. The eus can detect it earlier but you really need a skilled dr. There is a dr in SC Peter Cotton at MUSC who is a pro at this.
Avatar f tn Hi. My name is Summer. I am 30 years old. In November 2008 I went into the hospital with pancreatitis. I knew nothing about pancreatitis before that day but that day changed my life forever. I went into the emergency room 3 times before they finally figured out what was wrong and admitted me. Once they realized the severity of my condition they said if I had waited even 24 before getting treatment I could have died. I was there for 10 days.
Avatar n tn Boiling is the best way to cook meats to rid them of fat. White meat chicken and low-fat ground beef are two good choices. Even though it's the priciest type you can buy, you want to use ground beef that is at LEAST 90% lean. It would be even better to purchase other cuts of beef, remove ALL visible fat and veining that is visible, and grind it yourself. Do not feed her dark meat chicken, it's got fat in it. ONLY feed chicken breasts.
Avatar m tn I had ( still have her) a dog that had pancreatitis, she had it the same time she was ill with IMHA, so I don't know what they did to help her. I will tell you that your dog needs to be on low fat food. I would get Hills/ Science Diet Light to start off, most treats have too much fat so stay away from them. I would cook up chicken breast ( it's low fat) with some rice, both are easy on the stomach.
Avatar n tn Both times her Lipase levels were over 18,000 and her Amylase levels were around 1,500. After 4-5 day hospital stays, they came back down to normal. She is on a low fat diet. We are pursuing Genetic testing to see if she has one of the known defective chromosomes for hereditary pancreatitis - fighting with insurance company now. Has ANYONE had anything like this happen to a child they know? We, as well as the doctors, are baffled as to the cause. Thanks to all.
Avatar f tn I have him on home made very low fat diet, and tummy symptoms are relieved by pepcid. He has also taken carafate, not sure if that has done anything. But pepcid always helps.
Avatar f tn People with CP often end up taking digestive enzymes to help digest food and they often are advised to eat very low fat and avoid alcohol and smoking. You can have flares of acute pancreatitis so always go to er if you feel it coming on.
Avatar f tn They have decreased some since his hospitalization, but they are far from normal (last blood work had lipase at 14 times normal and amylase was 4 times normal). He does not have any pain. He is eating an extremely low fat diet and has restrictions on his activites. Are there any suggestions on what might be causing this abnormality? I am worried about the long term effects for him. I appreciate any comments or help.
Avatar m tn for SOD is typically and low fat diet. Meds that can be tried are typically anti-spasm meds such as bentyl or possibly elavil in low doses. Any form of narcotic-based medication should be avoided as they tend to raise the pressure in the ducts and cause pain.
Avatar n tn i have been diagnosed with Pancreatitis. Wondering if I can eat fat free cottage cheese or are all dairy off limits. Also yogurt is mentioned but seems like too much sugar, is it okay as well. I have been getting sharp pains after eating a small meal of oatmeal and tuna, is that normal?
