I just learned my son has acute pancreatitis. He has had a j-pouch for about a year and has chronic pouchitis which is managed with Cipro. Does anyone have experience with this combination of issues? I have no idea what this boy will be able to eat once the pancreatitis dies down (right now he is on a liquid diet). But when I look at the recovery diet for pancreatitis its lots of fruits and vegetables etc which he can't stomach. He has lived on pasta for the past year - which is on the no list. Anyone have any ideas how to manage this?
For the first two weeks out of the hospital, my diet was low fiber, low residue. Just mild stuff.
Fruits and veggies were a no no if they were fresh (bananas were ok). If the fruits were canned and the veggies steamed, I could do that. The rule of thumb were that if the veggie could be cut with a fork, it was ok.
Your son may have had the colitis worse than I did; my diet was not too restrictive.
