Nanny, I have learned more about pancreatitus from reading your advice to others than I have from any Doc. in 2 years. I have felt like I been going in circles with Doctors. I have seen so many different doctors and they have all diagnosed me with different things. I have seen so many doctors and feel that my files are so incomplete from all the various clinics I have been in. No one has the entire history of my 2 year ordeal with severe pain. I did try taking creon, but I did not react to the meds well. I do have high tryglicerides, but I have been able to control them with diet just as well as the meds. were controlling them. I begged to see a dietician in the hospital to tell me exactly how many fats I should be eating. This was a joke the two times I was able to speak to someone. I knew more than they did! I have learned by trial and error about what I can eat. I decided to stay under 30 grams of fat (this was from a diabetic diet). The dietician told me this was way too low!! I am so glad to know that 25 grams of fat and no more than 6-8 per meal is recommended. I have not taken any meds for 1 month and lived on Slimfast for 2 meals each day. I eat a well balanced dinner and have felt good finally with no flare ups. Thank you again so much for all of your suggestions. I don't feel as crazy when I can read that so many of us are having similar problems.

I'm glad I could help with suggestions. The diet you are on sounds sensible and seems as though it's working well for you. I have a lot of menu ideas and cooking suggestions that you might be interested in, too. Something a bit more exciting than Slimfast twice a day. But that does work, too! You can email me personally if you have any more questions.
Thanks for your kind words.
Nanny
