The occurrence of acute pancreatitis can also cause intestinal paralysis to a certain extent. The intake of food and water will aggravate abdominal distension and, to some extent, accelerate pancreatic secretion. Additionally, fasting from food and water helps the pancreas get sufficient rest, enabling the damaged pancreas to recover as soon as possible. After fasting, doctors will provide a large amount of fluids and nutrients according to the patient's consumption to maintain the energy required for the body's operation. Therefore, there's no need to worry about how to maintain the body's functions after fasting. Acute pancreatitis has a sudden onset and is life - threatening, so treatment and recovery should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. After the acute phase, patients still need to avoid spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods such as chili peppers and fatty meat. Remember not to drink alcohol or overeat again.
