pancreatitis diet after npo

Since my surgery, I have hospitalized 3 times with pancreatitis. I now have a GJ (feeding tube) and I am NPO except for ice chips and sugar free gum. My doctor thinks I would benefit from having the rest of my pancreas removed. Has anyone had issues like this? I am on Creon and pain medications daily.

-) I lost my first dog to pancreatitis when he was almost 14. He was NPO for the last 3 weeks of his life. After the first week, he seemed well enough to try plain chicken and rice and he really enjoyed it. Little did we know it was his last meal. The next day he was right back to barfing everything - including water. We took him to a specialist hospital where he had the same treatment in ICU as a human with pancreatitis.

The pain in my abdomen and back were not horrific like during the acute episode of pancreatitis, but it was painful. I am going NPO tonight after midnight in prep for the procedure tomorrow. Frankly, I am so frustrated with what is going on and when I can expect to go home. Everyone keeps asking me that qestion and I don't know how to answer and wish they would stop asking as it is upsetting me a lot.

I have found help for my husband at a site that talks about beating pancreatitis. It suggests following a diet that severely restricts all fats, not just saturated fats.

The next morning I called my doc and they said come in. After checking me out, they sent me straight to be admitted through the ER with Pancreatitis and lots of sludge in my gallbladder. They didn't take out the gallbladder though. They just kept me there until this evening on IV, morphine and went from nothing NPO to only broth to testing out low fat foods.

Make sure that the NPO still applies if you work midnight shifts. They may be giving you the generic info that they tell everyone else who working day hours because that's the "norm". It may be that the just want you NPO for 8-10 hours, which for you is not 8am.

Hi its not a must to have morning wood , but a healthier diet may help .

I think it's best to avoid garlic. Garlic and onions are very similar, and onions are a definite no for dogs. Some people do give dogs garlic, and the dogs seem to be ok, but I always think it's best to avoid it. As I said, dogs' sense of taste and smell is something like a hundred times more powerful than ours, so they get the taste of their food very well, and don't need any added seasonings.

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.

Can the medicine Zanaflex cause Pancreatitis? I have looked up information on this med and it states that 1 out of 20 patients could develop liver damage. I was diagnosed with Pancreatitis on 10/14/08. I had never had it in my life. I am afraid this medicine has caused it. I have never ever picked up any type of drink other than diet pepsi and jucie. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am so scared and hurting.

you are correct, cat food, being richer, has set off his pancreatitis. As you know acute pancreatitis can be a fatal event. It can also be transient. no one knows how your dog will do. Medications will decrease the severity of this event and sounds like if you get him over this you have managed his diet very well. I'd like to see his pancreatic work up and treat him to get him over this quickly and so that it does not progress further.

Many of my conditions are related to post-Graves Disease. Ten years ago I had my gallbladder out after an attack of acute pancreatitis. I subsequently developed chronic pancreatitis and was diagnosed with Sphincter of Oddi. Rather than have the invasive surgery I went on a strict, fresh chicken soup diet with supplements ordered by an Ayruvedic doctor. Within 2 years I was completely recovered and could eat anything.

She thought she had the flu for over two weeks, she went to the ER and was admitted for acute pancreatitis. She stayed in the hospital for 2 weeks. Ellie is a vegan so her diet was optimal to start with. After a month or two things settled back into normal and then she had another episode in October/11. Scans and tests do not reveal any stones or blocked ducts but 1/3 of her pancreas is necrotic. She was a healthy 25 yr old that by her own admission did drink beer and or wine but not to excess.

i am so glad I finally found someone with the same problem as I have, chronic pancreatitis. I have been going on a trial and error diet and don't want to get the pain and misery again! I did broil some chicken breast and had no problems. Also can eat about 2 ounces of tuna packed in water. As the pancreatitis has caused me to be diabetic that also causes problems. I am eating several small meals each day. Wouold be glad of any suggestions that have worked for some body else.

My mother has been suffering from Pancreatitis for the past 4months. She has been in hospital three times with severe pain, vomitting, and fluid in the abdominal. In that time she has lots over 25kg. She is 60 years old but since loosing so much weight she looks like 80 years old. She no longer drinks but continues to smoke. What worries me the most is that she eats very tiny amount of food, she vomitts everyday and she is just not getting any better.

Lipase can stay elevated for a couple of weeks after a bout of gastroenteritis or pancreatitis. How long has it been?

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.

I have had what my gastroenterologist calls mild pancreatitis several times in the last few years. What can I do to prevent the pancreatitis from re-occurring? Is there a specific diet? My doctor just says, "bed rest, lots of fluids, a light diet." I'm not sure what "a light diet" means. Since I already eat light (6 VERY small meals a day - due to my many intestinal surgeries), I don't know what more I can do.

I was in the hospital about 2 months ago with pancreatitis. I have changed my diet. My bowel movements were really weird for a while after I got out. It was diarrhea one day and constipation the next. It finally became my average to about twice a day. But, for the past couple of days it has been like 7-8 times a day if not more. My stomach does also cramp up quite a bit since this has been going on. Can somebody please tell me if I should go back to the Dr.

I am undergoing treatment for pancreatitis, I am 29 yrs old and not an alcoholic. What precautions I should take while undergoing treatment ? what are the chances of recovering from this disease?

t know the exact scale they were using, but normal is closer to 100. Today, three weeks after it all started and one week after the extremely elevated levels, the enzyme levels have come down to over 700 and over 4,000. I was on a clear liquid diet the last two and a half days, and have lost 15 pounds due to the little I've eaten throughout the weeks. I was told to begin eating again and we will recheck Monday. I have a history of being diagnosed with pancreatitis - beginning at age 15.

8 Her diet started out as Hills diet G/D (not K/D because of her pancreatitis). She has lost ~4.5 pounds since she was diagnosed. I have tried a homecooked diet specialized for kidney failure while also considering her pancreatitis. Still struggling to get her to eat. Does anyone have any pointers on how to handle this?

After pain, he becomes allright start living normally. But after sometime when he eats something heavy or dont follow proper diet or without any reason pain comes back and stays for 1-2 days. Is this acute or Chronic?

Hi there, Constipation and bowel problems are common after any surgery. It takes approximately 24 to 72 hours after surgery for normal function of the bowel to return. An ileus occurs because of drugs, metabolic disorders, neurological problems and infections. Narcotics cause constipation by slowing peristalsis of the small and large bowel. Derangements of the natural chemicals of the body and metabolic derangements after surgery can lead to an ileus.

I was diagnosed with mild pancreatitis over 4 years ago it is on going. I currently still am experiencing slight pain on my right side. I have been seen by a GI doctor and a CT Scan, Ultra sound, MRCP have been performed. No issues have been found, I asked if it could be cancer and was told no tumors or cist we found wehn reviewing the xrays. We then tried to stop my BP meds thinking they could be the cause, but I could not stay off of them long enough to make a determination.
