Diet in pancreatitis is mainly fat free diet as no non veg and fried food should be given. Sweets which are having colours should be avoided. Fruits and vegetables can be eaten. Fat free milk and its products are advisable.

Hi, advice your friend to take lot of fluids, fruit juices and semi-solid food with very low fat contents. Only if you are tolerating liquids well go for some semi solid, well crushed vegetable diet. Prevent meat and oils in all circumstances. Thanq.
