What is the treatment of pancreatitis?
There are several different things that can be done to treat pancreatitis. Some of these things include hospitalization to receive IV fluids, medications, and surgery.
Can you drink after a mild attack of pancreatitis?
It is recommended that a person wait two to three months before consuming alcohol after pancreatitis. This allows the pancreas to fully heal before it feels the alcohol's adverse effects once more. If your pancreatitis was caused by alcohol abuse, it is not recommended to drink at all.
Can Acute Chemical Pancreatitis such as that brought on post surgery ever lead to Chronic Pancreatitis?
It could but probably would not. Acute pancreatitis is usually temporary due to alcohol, drugs, ect. Things that can be changed or eliminated entirely. Chronic pancreatitis is caused by other things. Gallstones, problems with the pancreas itself, ect. But with either type of pancreatitis diet plays a big part. People that suffer from chronic pancreatitis learn very quickly what can be tolerated and what cannot. And either kind of pancreatitis can be deadly, and is extremely painful.
When can you drink alcohol after hearts surgery?
If you had heart surgery you shouldn't drink alcohol until your surgeon says you can.
When can you drink after your surgery?
it depends on your physician and what kind of surgery you have undergone.
What pain relief do sufferers of chronic pancreatitis realize after surgery?
When a pancreatectomy is performed for chronic pancreatitis, the majority of patients obtain some relief from pain. Some studies report that one-half to three-quarters of patients become free of pain.
What happens when you need emergency surgery but have had something to eat or drink?
Check with your doctor. They often will not do the surgery if you have been instructed not to eat or drink unless it is emergency surgery and you have to have it or you will, you know, die. It would not matter if you NEEDED emergency surgery.
Is Coffee good for pancreatitis?
You should not drink coffee while suffering from pancreatitis. In fact, you should not eat or drink anything during it. Treatment is most effective when a patient takes nothing orally for 3 - 5 days while on a lot of IV fluids. If treatment is being administered at home, patients should still refrain from food and drink only water. Coffee is acidic, and, if cream or milk is used, fatty. These are two things you want to avoid with pancreatitis. The pancreas is inflamed causing the digestive enzymes it normally secretes to remain trapped within itself, essentially digesting the tissue of the pancreas instead of the food in your stomach. By eating or drinking, you're not allowing the pancreas the rest it needs to recover and you will not have adequate enzymes to break the food or heavy drink down.Coffee is not good for pancreatitis.
Can you drink black coffee before surgery?
no
Can you drink alcohol four days after a stent operation?
I am assuming it depends on the type of stent you had placed. If it was a common bile duct stent or pancreatic duct stent due to problems with pancreatitis, no, you should not drink for a long time, if ever. Pancreatitis can be fatal. You would be likely to suffer another episode only 4 days post-op. After my own common pancreatic stent surgery two years ago, I was told by my GI to abstain from all alcohol for a year (for safe measure.) After one year, he said it was okay (in my case) to drink a beer or two, but no liquor. He said I could try red wine, as well, but it gives me really bad heartburn, which is scary if you've ever had pancreatitis. After one year of no alcohol, I am now able to have 2 or 3 beers, occasionally, with no ill effects.
Can pancreatitis cause lethargy?
Pancreatitis in cats may cause lethargy.
How much can I drink even if I have gastric bypass surgery?
Drinking to much is never a good thing. If you are going to have surgery don't drink for at least seventy-two hours or three days before the surgery but the longer the better.
