My son is in the military in London, and is presently in the hospital for pancreatitis. WHat can I send him as far a natural medicines or supplements that may help. I am sure he's not eating right, so what can I suggest?
If he has pancreatitis, I would be very surprised if he was eating food. I was in the hospital for three weeks with moderate to severe pancreatitis, and I was fed through an IV in my arm for two months. I was able to slowly start eating food at about the one month mark: jello and broth were first, then I moved on to puddings, mashed potatoes, etc. If he is being fed through an IV he is getting the best nutrition you could ever have!!
Well my father had acute pancreatitis last year. He was In the hospital for a total of 3 months. He had to get surgery for it. Later on we were told to give him food with very less oil and no spices at all. And a lot of vegetable soup coz he had become very weak and fragile. In pancreatitis there is a chance of having diabeties as well so avoid anything with sugar. Sugar free Health drinks are also advisable.
Hope all this helps you. Take care and keep your head up.
