Understanding Pancreatitis Prevention
How Can I Prevent Pancreatitis?
- Limiting yourself to one or two alcoholic drinks per day may significantly lessen your chances of developing pancreatitis. Once you have had pancreatitis, though, you should not drink at all; any drinking carries the risk of new attacks.
- Controlling your weight and maintaining a healthful diet and lifestyle may prevent gallstones and help reduce your risk of pancreatitis.
