Your personalized pancreatitis treatment plan depends on the type and severity of your condition. Your Peak Gastroenterology Associates provider might suggest: Lifestyle changes: Making lifestyle changes can reduce damage to your pancreas. Examples include not smoking or drinking, fasting, eating a well-balanced diet low in fat, and drinking more fluids. If you struggle to avoid alcohol, your doctor can refer you to a treatment program in your area. Medications and supplements: Taking pain relief or enzyme supplements for improved digestion are additional options for pancreatitis treatment. Your doctor may recommend IV fluids or nutritional supplements, too. Surgical procedures: Undergoing a surgical procedure can help you better manage pancreatitis and experience symptom relief. Your gastroenterologist might surgically repair bile duct obstruction, remove your gallbladder, drain pancreatic fluid, or remove diseased tissue. Don’t live with unpleasant pancreatitis symptoms or let the disease progress to severe complications. Schedule an appointment with Peak Gastroenterology Associates over the phone or online today.
