Pancreatitis can be quite distressing, with severe stomach pain and vomiting often being the main issues. When considering an Ayurvedic approach to diet, first it’s essential to understand your dosha, primarily focusing on balancing Pitta as its aggravation might contribute to inflammation like in pancreatitis.

Start with a diet that is light and easy to digest. Kitchari is often recommended - it’s a simple dish combining rice and mung dal. This meal is gentle on the digestive system and can help soothe inflammation. Cook it with minimal oil; a gentle saute in ghee is good, and season lightly with turmeric (whichhas anti-inflammatory properties) and a bit of cumin.

Avoid foods that are too spicy, oily, or rich in acidic content, as they can aggravate Pitta dosha, worsening inflammation. Alcohol and processed foods should be strictly avoided too. Fresh fruits and vegetables are beneficial but avoid raw foods; cooked or stewed is easier to digest. Consider things like steamed vegetables or cooked apples and pears.

In terms of beverages, coconut water is excellent; it’s hydrating and cooling for Pitta. Herbal teas like peppermint or chamomile can support digestion and help soothe discomfort. Keep hydration consistent; it’s essential but sip water throughout the day instead of drinking large quantities at once.

Eating smaller meals more frequently can ease the digestive burden and prevent overload, avoiding large meals that can be taxing on the pancreas. Meal timings should ideally be regular, as this can help stabilize agni (digestive fire).

It’s also crucial to listen to your body — if a particular food seems to worsen symptoms, adjust ad respons’ accordingly. Remember, this advice complements, not replaces, modern medical treatment when dealing with conditions like pancreatitis. If symptoms are intense or worsening, consulting a healthcare provider promptly is crucial.
