Terrible situation. Very sorry to hear this.

Is this innovative solution demolishing towers standing up more #CircularEconomy than blowing them up & separating afterwards?

The market has thankfully moved on from just chopping over turbines as if they're trees...

It's hard but I'm glad there seems to be a solution for you!

The pain is beyond imagination of most people (good for them!). Pain management can be tricky. My body cannot handle morphine anymore😣

I focus on prevention and limiting it when a pancreatitis does start, but they can be sudden and heavy

Hi Justin, would you have a link to this evidence source? I'd love to look at it & use it. Thank you!

Hi @dondrennon.bsky.social hope you don't me responding. It's the same for me, upon entering the ER they do a blood test and urine test on lipase and amylase, which is used to confirm what's going on. I also had a genetic test as a kid which found that mine is hereditary pancreatitis.

Hi @marcbesselink.bsky.social, I got a "page not found" but this one ought to work academic.oup.com/bjsopen/arti... Hope you don't mind!

Interesting results, though from patients perspective also slightly shocking in places. Thank you for this study.

After that, try easy to digest food. Rice, boiled veg (avoid raw), proteins.

While aspiring #vegan, during recovery proteins from milk (cottage cheese), eggs, quorn and some tofu work best in my body.

Also regular snacks, e.g. yoghurts, fruit, digestives, toast, etc.

Focusing on proteins helps to stop feeling hungry & build back muscle (since most weight lost during acute pancreatitis is muscle tissue incl. the heart).

I also think it gives essential nutrients to restore enzyme balances, but there are far smarter people on here who know about these things.

If clear fluids stay down, it's on to thicker fluids. Soups, yoghurts, porridges etc. All low fat but ideally higher in protein. Small portions at a time, and if it stays in without causing lasting pain, then have another portion after 30-60 minutes.

If it has been a severe pancreatitis, impossible to keep food and drinks in for several days, then start with clear fluids first. I find warm drinks e.g. just hot water, light teas and fruit juices (possibly watered down) easiest. Also try bouillon which is great for upping salts too.

food items that are high in fats especially will drop my pancreas back into inflammation straight away, especially during the fragile recovery period when the acute pancreatitis is still subsiding.

Here's what I do to ease my body back into healthy eating again...

Here is a copy of what #NHS currently recommends to recovering acute #pancreatitis patients.

Everyone to their own preferences, but this diet would make me very ill because..

This looks relevant and I'd like to read it, but even with university institutional log-in I cannot access it. Could you share the highlights or even a copy of the article? Thank you!
