Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Avoiding caffeine and eating a low-fat diet is recommended for individuals with a history of pancreatitis to prevent discomfort. Drinking 2 liters of fluid and eating high-fat, high-sodium, or high-protein diets can exacerbate symptoms and should be avoided. Eating a high-carbohydrate and high-fat diet is not necessary for maintaining energy levels and can also contribute to discomfort.
