Pancreatitis, Diet, and Weight Gain

It shouldn't be a problem to gain weight for a person with pancreatitis because it's advised to focus on carbohydrate-rich foods. However, to gain muscle mass instead of fat, one should do strength exercises (weight lifting or machines in a gym). Other than that, make it sure you have enough of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as magnesium and amino acid methionine, and soybean extract. Research showed that these nutrients are potent antioxidants and can reduce the pain from which people with pancreatitis often suffer. Extract of soybeans containing so called polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholines can prevent the damage to the pancreas as was shown in animal studies.
