How many days does pancreatitis fast?

Pancreatitis may require fasting for 3-5 days.

Pancreatitis refers to acute or chronic inflammation of the pancreas. Fasting during treatment is one of the common treatments to reduce the burden on the pancreas and promote recovery. If the patient has mild inflammation and the pancreatic damage is not serious, fasting for about 3 days is enough. However, if the pancreatic inflammation is obvious, the pancreatic damage is relatively serious, and fasting for about 5 days is required.

As the pancreatitis subsides, diet can be gradually started. At first, try light and digestible foods such as liquid and semi-liquid diet, and gradually transition to soft and normal diet according to the patient's tolerance.
