How long can pancreatitis last?

Pancreatitis

is an acute or chronic inflammation of the pancreas, and diet is an important part of treatment. When the patient is in an acute episode of the disease, eating may stimulate pancreatic enzyme secretion, increase pancreatic burden, adversely affect the patient's recovery, and require appropriate fasting. Usually the patient can return to a normal diet within 2-7 days and can gradually increase dietary intake.

It is recommended that patients with pancreatitis communicate with their doctor and nutritionist to make appropriate adjustments according to individual conditions and follow the doctor's recommendations for dietary management.
