Dear Blessing,
I too, have chronic pancreatitis and urge you to follow the advice of TazLady, she knows the correct treatment well. Specifically, DO NOT drink olive oil, and DO NOT consider the liver flush! These suggestions WILL NOT cure pancreatitis and could cause you more harm than good.
Get your gastroenterologist to recommend the proper treatment for you as soon as you can. Good luck.

Please tell me about the liver flush. Any info you could give me would be most appreciated. You seem to know alot about curing ailments naturally. Are there any books or websites I could go to to get additional info? Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi blessing.
Instead of taking dietary suggestions from others,
(e.g liver flush) especially since you are pregnant, who you really need to be talking to is your OBGYN doctor. All of this should be at HIS attention. He's/she is the number one doctor you should be talking with as far as nutrition is concerned for your baby. If you weren't pregnant it would be a different story. Talk with your obgyn asap as far as what you should be doing. Good Luck ;)

I was in the hospital last month with pancreatitis. The treatment is for no food. The pancreas needs to rest, and by not eating it can heal. Your baby will get plenty of nourishment from what your body has stored. Not being a Dr I can only guess that another case of pancreatitis would be worse for the baby than to go without food for a few days. By leaving without the Dr discharging you. You are showing the Drs that you are unwilling to follow Drs orders. Which would make the next less willing to take your case.
You need to follow a very strict low fat diet. Recovering from this takes time. By eating foods that are high in fat. They can cause you a lot of gas pressure to build up in your upper abdomen. Trust me it is painful. Low fat foods will still give you the nutrition you need. Things like yogart and toast hold back on the butter, fruit, vegis, chicken breast, fish, turkey, ham sandwiches minus the mayo. There is a lot you can eat just be careful to not push your pancreas too hard. Recovery can take up to 6 weeks before you are feeling normal again.
Becareful your baby will be fine, but you need to take care of yourself first. If you aren't better by the time baby is born you won't feel good to take care of it like you want to.
