Eggs for pancreatitis in the chronic and acute stages

Pancreatitis is a disease of the pancreas associated with the development of an inflammatory process in the organ. With this disease, there is a disruption in the flow of enzymes involved in digestion from the pancreas to the duodenum. Digestive enzymes remain in the gland itself and destroy it. The main cause of this disease is improper and unbalanced nutrition. That is why the treatment of pancreatitis is based on a properly selected diet.

The effect of chicken eggs on patients with pancreatic insufficiency

Chicken eggs for pancreatitis can be added to food both boiled and raw. At the stage of weakening of the pathology, it can be added to ground turkey. The hard-boiled product should not be taken in any phase of the pathology, including the chronic form. This type of cooking reduces the digestibility of enzymes and is not sufficiently digested by the stomach. Due to the increased load, an acute attack, flatulence, heartburn, and abdominal pain develop.

Pancreatitis is accompanied by symptoms that require adherence to a diet and regular follow-up with your doctor. Strict adherence to medical recommendations, especially during exacerbations, helps to increase comfort.

The introduction of restrictions on the intake of chicken eggs is due to the following reasons:

1. High levels of fat, 50% of which is cholesterol. This substance is not sufficiently absorbed by the body in the acute phase of the pathology. Excessive consumption of the product leads to digestive tract upset.
2. The yolk stimulates the abundant secretion of bile, which also negatively affects the patient’s condition.
3. Egg white can become a strong allergen and cause side effects.
4. There is a risk of harmful bacteria being on the shell, causing acute infectious poisoning.

Boiled eggs can be added to the diet at the stage of weakening of the pathology. Using the product in different dishes adds variety to the medical table.

List of permitted products:

Cereals (buckwheat, oatmeal, rice, semolina)	The cereal must be boiled in water, followed by the addition of milk and a small amount of butter.
vegetables	Vegetables can be consumed as first courses (vegetable soups, puree soup) or in the form of chopped boiled pieces. Allowed fruits include potatoes, carrots, green peas, zucchini, pumpkin, beets and cauliflower.
fruits	Raw fruits should not be eaten. You can eat fruit jams, marshmallows, baked apples, compotes, and jelly.
meat	You can eat lean meats: beef, veal, rabbit and chicken. The meat is steamed and prepared in the form of soufflés or minced meat cutlets.
fish	Steamed white river fish is allowed in the food.
egg	Allows you to prepare a steam omelet from 1 chicken egg or 3 quail eggs.
Dairy	Dairy products should have minimal fat content
bread	You can eat a small amount of wheat bread 2-3 days old

Chicken eggs

Chicken eggs are less beneficial to human health than quail eggs. And there are also restrictions on their use. So, the maximum number of whole eggs per day should not exceed two units. At the same time, hard-boiled ones are harmful to the inflamed gland. It is also highly not recommended to eat them fried; scrambled eggs can cause aggravation.

The boiled protein in chicken eggs is denser than in quail eggs. In this regard, it is able to more actively compensate for the lack of nutritional components in the human body, as well as prevent anemia and increase immunity.

The benefits of chicken eggs

The main harm to the pancreas and gall bladder can be caused by the yolk. Boiled protein, provided it is properly prepared, can have the following beneficial effects:

• replenish the lack of fat-soluble vitamins and microelements;
• have an antitumor effect;
• increase the body's resistance to diseases;
• increase the tone of the body.

The product can be added in acceptable quantities to other dishes, and also taken in the form of a steam omelet.

Why are chicken eggs dangerous?

If the standards are not followed, eating boiled eggs for pancreatitis can cause an exacerbation of the disease and a significant slowdown in the recovery process. This is due to the following factors:

1. The whole product contains about seven grams of animal fat. Too many lipids can impede digestion and lead to abdominal pain and diarrhea.
2. Egg white is a strong allergen.
3. In excess, yolk can cause increased production of bile, which will negatively affect the condition of the pancreas and can cause cholecystitis.
4. Store-bought eggs may contain pathogenic bacteria, which survive insufficient heat treatment and infect the body when consumed.

Thus, if you do not follow the recommendations and regimen, the product can cause complications and worsen the patient’s condition.

List of fully or partially restricted products:

Dates, grapes, bananas	Causes bloating
Mushrooms, legumes, white cabbage	Contains coarse fiber
Smoked, salted, fast food, products containing preservatives and dyes	Irritate the mucous membrane of the digestive tract
By-products (liver, tongue, heart, kidneys, etc.)	Contains a lot of cholesterol
Any fried or fatty foods	Lead to exacerbation of the disease
High fat dairy products	High risk of exacerbation or complication of the disease

The effect of quail eggs on patients with pancreatic insufficiency

Quail eggs are the main product of medical tables No. 2 and No. 5.
Protein does not contain cholesterol, so it can be eaten raw or boiled. The body of this bird is protected from the effects of infections and parasites, unlike chicken. Quail meat and eggs are rich in phosphorus, potassium, vitamins A and B. In terms of benefits, it is superior to chicken offal. Doctors advise adding quail eggs to your diet for pancreatitis, gastric pathologies, diabetes and tuberculosis. Women during pregnancy and breastfeeding need to add this product to their diet.

Restrictions on adding quail eggs to food are genetic fermentopathy, allergies, kidney pathologies and liver failure.

Otherwise, poultry protein is good for health, because it helps reduce inflammation and stabilize the functioning of the gallbladder. However, you should not abuse it, but add it to your diet according to the testimony of your doctor or nutritionist.

Diet recipes

A diet for pancreatic disease requires skills in cooking. Organizing meals for a working person is much more difficult, since you will have to carry lunch and snacks with you, and look for a place to warm up. For young and inexperienced cooks, we provide examples of some dietary dishes with a description of the cooking process.

Vegetarian soup

We offer a recipe for soup with cereals and vegetables. For one serving you will need: 20 g of cereals (rice, oatmeal), half a glass of milk, one potato and carrot, a teaspoon of vegetable and butter. Pour clean cereal into boiling water and boil until fully cooked (time depends on the type of cereal).

Peel the potatoes and carrots, cut them, and simmer in another pan. Lightly add salt and mash into a puree with butter, mix well. Rub the finished cereal through a sieve, mix the broth with stewed vegetables, and add hot milk when boiling. It is better to put butter on a plate before eating.

Carrot and cottage cheese soufflé

Per serving you need 2 medium carrots, 50 g of cottage cheese, half a glass of milk, one egg, a tablespoon of semolina, 5 g of butter. After peeling, cut the carrots into small pieces and cook in milk until soft.

Steamed meatballs

Prepared from meat, trimmed of tendons and fat, and minced meat. Chicken or turkey will do. Per serving you will need 150 g of minced meat, 20 g of white bread pulp, and a little butter. White bread soaked in water and squeezed out is added to the finished minced meat, the whole mass is scrolled through a meat grinder twice. Small balls are formed and steamed. You can throw it into boiling water, add cereal and make soup with meatballs.

Berry jelly

Kissel is made from fresh or frozen berries. If raw materials frozen since the summer are used, they do not require preliminary thawing. The berries are filled with water and boiled. The composition is filtered to remove the skin. At the same time, a thickener is made from starch. Add it with a tablespoon to hot water and stir. The quantity is determined by the required thickness of the jelly.

Then combine the berry drink with the starch base and stir well. You can use ready-made jelly in packs. You should carefully look at the expiration date and amount of sugar. If the patient needs restriction, then jelly will have to be prepared from berries with the addition of a sweetener.

Nutritional problems in diseases of the pancreas are no less important than medications. Patients know that if their diet is violated, they are at risk of exacerbation with very unpleasant symptoms.

What can you eat?

In case of exacerbation of pancreatitis of the pancreas, it is better to give preference to those products that will maximally facilitate the work of the inflamed organ and reduce the production of digestive enzymes. The food you eat should not cause gas or pain.

Instead of fresh bread, eat crackers
