I have recently been diagnosed with mild pancreatitis and I'm not sure what I can and cannot eat. I'm looking for some advice and help from anyone who may have experienced this condition or any medical professionals on the forum. What sort of diet should I follow? Can I still eat some of the foods I used to eat before the diagnosis? Are there any special precautions I should take when eating? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

In some cases, it can also occur as a result of an infection or a drug reaction. Eating with mild pancreatitis can be difficult, as it can cause pain and discomfort. It is important to speak to a doctor or dietitian to ensure that you are eating a healthy and balanced diet.
