Good recipe for person with pancreatitis

I was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis a week and a half ago and I’m wondering if anyone has any good recipes and recommendations to heal the pancreas.

    I would really discuss this with your doctor and a registered dietician as they have a better idea what caused the inflammation and what you should and should not eat. Then go with this.

    What did your Dr. tell you to do? Anyway, acute is generally treated to allow the pancreas to rest and recover and basically going on a liquid type diet that's also low in carbs and fat and of course no alcohol and acute generally lasts a week or two. Did your Dr. advise a treatment like this and what was their advise when it came to the foods after this initial time.

    I hear that eating more frequently and smaller meals that are also low in sugars (carbs) and fat will tend to tax the pancreas less than it would normally be asked to do, so no 1 or 2 meals but maybe 6 or more small ones and apparently less fiber which slows digestion which is not what is optimal for this particular situation. This is not medical advice obliviously nor should any online advice be and you should get in touch with your Dr. :)
