Fish is so healthy for you that it is not recommended to avoid it entirely. That might be your problem. I suggest for you to do some reading on the health benefits of eating fish and that might in the long run improve your health condition. Also did you know that vegetarians who avoid meat are very likely to suffer health issues because of deficiency of eating meat which contains very important substances for your body not found in fruits and vegetables ? Also fat in controlled amount is essential for proper cell growth. Your diet should at least consist of 20% meat in order for your body to stay healthy.Replied by Kingstrider (Islamabad, Pakistan) on 07/11/2011
I am 23 years old and I have been having recurring acute pancreatitis attacks for the last 6 years. I had my first severe attack almost 6 years ago, when my emaylays levels, etc shot sky high. My abdomen became hard as rock and my pancreas was swelled up. The pain subsided almost 2 weeks later. On my second attack doctors spotted a shadow in my gal bladder, and after careful examination it was removed. Sadly after all these years my attacks are still occuring. The severity differs every time, and it has hampered my education and my work life ever since. I am not an alcoholic or a smoker. Doctors can't find a cause, and sometimes during an attack nothing is detected in the ultrasound report. Could anyone help me out on my diet or on any sort of cure for this disease.Replied by Sharon (Oak Park, Michigan) on 08/16/2011

You can try cran -grape juices eat lots of greens such as spinach, collard, mustard, turnips, garlic and onion in all you eat it seems to help with breaking down foods. Cut out as much beef as possible. I mean 90% make it a treat, here's some meats that don't bother me a bit- chicken and gyro meat, some turkey, you must pay attention to your body it's gonna be hard but you must. This is how you will know what triggers for you, no hot sauces, low sodium. You have to start making your favorites a treat. Sweets don't seem to bother me- might not with you too. I gathered input from people who has this crap, keep fruits and peanuts in ya diet, docs didn't tell me none of what I'm telling ya, when I have an attack, I get in a tub of water then get it hot as I can stand it. I trade one for the other- seems crazy but works, you'll be wowed what the body get use to, I've been dealing with this since I was 19, now I'm 33, I tried all through trial and error. So sick of doctor through all the yrs, ask ya doc for this med called ZENPEP 10,000 units use these after meals- trust me they help!!! GOOD LUCK and BEST WISHES. P.S. just pay attention to how you react to the foods ya eat!!Replied by Glenn (Seoul, Korea) on 11/17/2015
The basis of healing is simple, and depends on one thing: maintaining an alkaline body pH. If anything disrupts this pH state, it should be removed and avoided from your life style. Animal proteins, whether fish, meat, milk, eggs, etc., greatly shifts the body pH into an acidic pH. These should then be completely avoided in the diet. The most healing diet is a raw food diet, focusing on 80% vegetables and 20% fruit. Fruit also has a tendency to cause high acidity and for this reason should be eaten less of. To correct chronic acid levels in the body, bicarbonate of soda should be used at the rate of 1/2 a teaspoon to a cup of water, 4 times a day, half an hour before meals, or an hour after meals, or on an empty stomach.
