Excellent and timely information! I stuggle with accute pancreatitis. There are five things I have found that help and you mentioned some of them! 1) Activity, regular exercise; 2) Weight loss; 3) Intermittant fasting, at least 16 hrs. between meals; 4) Lower fat intake; 5 ) this is a BIG ONE: TUMERIC.
The Asian spice Tumeric contains powerful antioxidants, including something called Curcumin which some studies have shown to be 500% more effective than Metformin when dealing with insulin resistance, which many of us have. It's also an anti-inflamatory which helps with artharitis and inflamation of the pancreas, lowering any pain that may be experienced.
Great article! Thank you!
