Pancreatitis is usually fasted for a few days

Pancreatitis requires fasting for a few days, which is related to the severity of the disease and needs to be analyzed in combination with the actual situation.

Fasting can reduce the burden on the intestines, so that the pancreas can rest and relieve the inflammatory symptoms of pancreatitis. Usually, patients with mild acute pancreatitis need to fast for 1-3 days due to relatively less severe pancreatic damage. In patients with severe pancreatitis, the pancreatic damage may be more severe, and the fasting time may be longer, which may take 7 days or even longer. The specific fasting time will be determined by the doctor according to the patient's condition, and the patient only needs to follow the doctor's advice.
