If you’re suffering from pancreatitis for a long time, your doctor might recommend you to get a pancreatic surgery to get a cure for it, but after the surgery, you need to follow a diet and avoid some foods to achieve full recovery.

Here, we list 5 foods that you should avoid after pancreatitis.

Refined carbs:

Avoid refined carbs at any cost. These do not have any healthy nutrients in it like whole wheat has. It will only complicate your digestive system and worsen your situation. Go for whole wheat as much as you can.

High-fat foods:

Don’t go for fried foods. No matter how much you salivate over, french fries and burgers, avoid them like plague. Your pancreas is recovering, you must give it the time it requires to digest fat. Stick to skim milk instead of whole.

Red meat:

It’s delicious, but not for your health because it contains saturated fat and has a high cholesterol level. It’s better to get used to chicken, which is lean meat and will not harm your health. You can add fish to your diet too.

Alcohol:

Alcohol creates damage than any other things. Avoid it at any cost, because pancreas enzymes will not digest it properly, thus the problems might come back. Alcohol not only will affect your pancreas, but will do severe damage.

Sugary treats:

Refrain from eating foods with high sugar. The pancreas is recovering and might not adjust to the new level of sugar in the blood. Stay away from sugary treats if offered by anyone, and try consuming less sugar while you recover.

Follow your diet and avoid the above-mentioned foods to recover quickly.
