Pancreatitis and food

Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis and food

pancreatitis

Avatar f tn Thank you for your response! When we took her to the vet 10 days ago, he ran several tests. I am uncertain if that was one of them. He told me she needed to lose weight and I agree but she has been so sick that exercise didn't seem like a good idea. And I have given her some people food to trick her into taking her meds. I am guessing that her pancrease is just sensitive right now and the people food was a bad idea.
Avatar n tn I am looking for a dog food for our rat terrier who has issues with chronic pancreatitis, high cholesterol and trig. We presently have her on Hill's W/D but would like a maintenance low fat food.
Avatar f tn After 4 days of him not eating i desided that wasnt a good route to go and just tried to not give him any people food or treats and I take my garbage out everyday so he cant get into it. The vet said once he has gotten it once its going to be a reacuring thing that will happen from time to time is that true? I hope this chicken and rice for a couple days works because ive already spent $800 on his 2 previouse visits 2 and 3 years ago.
Avatar f tn Hi Tony! I've been voraciously reading your group's postings/answers. My dog was perfectly fine with SLIGHT high BUN (35-38). I put her on the NF diet in an effort to keep the kidney disease at bay, and suddenly her pancreatitis went crazy! She got very ill and didn't want to eat. I tried to put her back on her old food to get her back to normal, but it was too late. She's been hospitalized for four days. Her BUN/Creat "stabilized" at 116/6.7.
Avatar f tn You might have pancreatitis. That could cause all 3 symptoms, and the elevated enzymes. Other causes of your symptoms would not likely do that. Make sure your doctor checks you thoroughly for pancreatitis.
Avatar n tn Hey all, i'm 21 years old and about a month + ago I was diagnosed with pancreatitis. I had my first attack - a really high fever with stomach pain - that had me in the hospital for about 3 days. After being discharged and going back to food, I had the same fever (no stomach pain this time around) 2 days later and that ended up with me sitting in the hospital for a month without food or water.
Avatar m tn Now its been basically non-stop, confirmed by mri, that it is chronic pancreatitis, and fatty liver. Im being sent to a pain specialist for the pain, and hoping he can offer relief, because Ive been recieving very little help from my doctor with that. Im 5'5", used to be about 138lbs, and now am 162, with gain of 10lbs a month on a low fat diet, no meat, no bread, soft food. I dont understand except unless wieght gain is from thyroid going wrong, im hypothyroid.
Avatar m tn I know that pancreatitis can lead to diabetes and she was given Lactulose laxative for the constipation. She was on that last time when she had this problem and honestly, the Lactulose does not work on her. She was getting 3 doses per day and the vet said we would come home to a mess, but it never happened. I was also giving her canned pumpkin with the Lactulose, and a lot more than the 2 tbsp per day that they recommend, and still nothing. I finally got results by walking her.
Avatar f tn Hi there, I had pancreatitis 8 years ago, was the worst pain ive ever had, could barely swallow saliva never mind eat or drink anything went from 11 stone down 7 stone, but after 3 months i got better, only thing is im now 31 like going out and drinking and every now and then my amylase levels rise, and im also a glutten for spicy food and faty foods, i know recipe for disaster, but even when i had full blown pancreatitis my levels where no where near the hights urs has risen, worst mine got to
Avatar n tn t feel like I am as aware as I should be about my diabetes. Alcohol digests differently than food and can do different things to the way your body absorbs insulin.
Avatar n tn Back to chicken and rice and he was normal. We then tried California Natural with no success, back to chicken and rice, and are now trying Pro Plan Puppy. He was doing great on this initially. We started with 1/8 of a cup per meal mixed with a 1/2 cup rice and 1/2 chicken. After 3 days we increased to 1/4 kibble, did that for 2 days, and increased to 3/8. Almost immediately at the 3/8 level the diarrhea was back.
Avatar m tn I know where you are coming from in regards to the pancreatis occurring with our pets. I received my min-pin in 2004 when she was only 3 years old, her previous owner kept her in a walk in closet 24/7 so when I adopted her she was very thin. I felt sorry for her and she wouldn't eat dog food so I just gave her "people" food. I nearly killed her unknowingly of course.
1300834 tn?1273123354 I have a 15 mo old chihuahua/rat terrier mix who has been diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis. She is also overweight which i know can worsen the condition and I've been exercising her more. But what I'd like to know is there a diet that is best for her with her condition? I'm not convinced that the prescription diet she's on is the best and she doesn't like the taste so is not eating well.
Avatar m tn Any time a dog is fed human food there is the risk of them developing pancreatitis, and even one meal can be enough to cause it. Keep in mind that human food is much higher in fat than foods designed for dogs, and dogs cannot process those fats. Pancreatitis is EXTREMELY painful, and if that is what is causing her problems, that's why she is shaking.
Avatar n tn Since all your lab works and imaging studies are otherwise normal and you never had any bout of pancreatitis before, a wait and watch policy is likely to be the best course of action for you. Also, the risk of surgery to pancreas is high, so since the side branch lesions are usually harmless, a wait and watch policy is adopted for most lesions less than 3 cm which do not cause dilatation of the main pancreatic duct nor have a solid mass or nodule within them.
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 n tn very concerned my bulldog is 7 years old and im a wreck hes been in and out of the vet hospital getting iv fluids anti vomiting meds and anti biotics but he still will not eat i got him home again today supposibly his liver and pancreas are inflammed and enlarged and they dunt know why so they let me take him home 2 see if we can persuede him 2 eat but he still is not interested in food at all!!
17344032 tn?1455826300 6 months ago my18 year old standard yorkshire terrier was diagnosed by the vet to have Bronchitis (Pneumonia) and pancreatitis For these conditions the vet prescribed 1 10mg Veraflox daily for 3 months, 2 50mg vivitonin, and 2 5mgprednisolone steroid daily for the rest of his life. He also has the royal caine gastrointestinal dry dog food.
Avatar n tn only the occassional piece of cheese and I fed him good food so I am at a total loss how this happened and why so quick. Please any information you can provide me would be much appreciated.
Avatar n tn I wouldn't assume it's a growling stomach because she's hungry. There's a reason why she's hungry, and that's because she is unwell. Any healthy dog will eat its food. If she is refusing to eat then that's because she has either nausea or pain, or both. If she has a history of pancreatitis, she needs to see a vet as soon as possible. I don't think this is going to go away on its own. I also don't think a dose of Pepto bismol is going to do the trick either.
Avatar n tn t really given much say in the matter, as the pancreatitis was a nasty attack and I was strongly advised to get my gallbladder out asap after it. It was a straightforward procedure, with no after effects. I can't really say I felt better, because apart from the pancreatitis incident, I never had any problems beforehand! I do sometimes suffer with the "dumping syndrome" which, whilst unpleasant, doesn't worry me too much as I believe it's normal.
Avatar n tn he has no pain any where and want to eat but when ever her eats regular food his levels go up higher. so now he is on liquid and loosing so much weight. CAn any body help or have answers??????
719251 tn?1230340905 Have they explained the cause of the pancreatitis? It is a painful and scary condition, and I think outcome has a lot to do with the cause, but I'm sure it's very hard to watch somebody go through this. I hope she gets relief soon. I think the doctors treating her are the best ones to ask these questions of. I hope they make themselves available to you.
Avatar m tn My girlfriend's dog just turned 11. He is a yorkie, is bline and is diabetic. Almsot a month ago he got over pancreatitis. Everything was fine until yesterday when now he won't eat and what he does he throws up and today had a little blood in it. Could it be the same thing again so soon?
Avatar f tn He is a very sensitive, nervous cat. His labs indicate that he does not have pancreatitis, and overall his lab work looks good. He had a full senior work up, as well as urinanalysis and the test for the pancreatitis (negative). He has been dehydrated, not eating well, nauseated and vomiting. Is the next step to do an ultrasound?
Avatar m tn Now i am worried because i gave him his pancrezyme then 30 minutes later i prepared a little bit of dry food and a little bit of wet food and mixed in some dogsure and he ate it all but then not even 10 mnutes later he threw it all up! i wonder if it was because i fed him too much or if he is not used to drinking the dogsure...i dont think its the medicines he is taking because today is the first day he vomits, we started the mediction in saturday when i picked him up from the vet.
