Why food matters in pancreatitis Think of your pancreas as a tired worker. Every time you eat fatty or fried food, you’re shouting, “Work harder!” But when you eat light, healthy meals, you’re saying, “Rest small, you’re doing great.” Foods that make the pancreas happy 😊 Boiled or grilled foods (not fried!) Lean protein like fish, chicken without skin, beans Rice, yam, plantain (boiled or roasted) Vegetables like kontomire, carrots, garden eggs Fruits like pawpaw, banana, watermelon Plenty of water 💧 Foods that make it angry 😡 Fried foods and fast food Fatty meat and sausages Too much oil or butter Sugary drinks and pastries Alcohol — big NO! 🚫 How to eat (this part matters!) Eat small meals, many times a day Don’t overload your stomach Eat slowly—no rushing 🍽️ The simple truth Pancreatitis cannot be “prayed away” with food alone—but good eating can reduce pain, prevent attacks, and help healing. 👉 Treat your pancreas gently. 👉 Light meals, less oil, no alcohol. 👉 Your body will thank you.
