I need a complete list fo a pancreatitis diet

I know the basic foods to eat when a person has pancreatitis . I need a list many items to eat or to avoid. The doctor said to avoid mint ?
Is it ok to eat sweat potato, soy milk, pickles, marmalade, Pedialyte for potassium, vinager, vitamin C, low acid orange juice, vitamin E, What kind of juice can I have in the morning-prune,pear,peach,V8.... pizza, salad dressing, candy, pretzels, sherbit, cooked oatmeal, bananas, baby foods, green tea, chocolate, no fat lactaid milk, and more. Does such a list exist?

hi, if you have searched the net and been unable to find anything specific to help you with your query, the person with pancreatitis should ask their doctor to refer them to a dietician, this way they can ensure that their diet is as good as it possibly can be. as a rule they should be aiming for a diet that is low in fat and high in carbs and protein to lessen the workload on the pancreas, with specific foods it is usually a trial and error approach, but try to avoid rich foods and overly large meals. hope this helps

Mint? I've heard that in another context, but I thought it was a myth.

Here's the very general info my nutritionist told me to AVOID:

Products made with added fat (e.g., biscuits, crackers, etc)
Anything breaded or fried
Anything that uses cheese, creme, butter or oil-based sauces.
Avocado
Regular ground beef (85% lean or fattier)
Hot dogs, bacon, sausage, high-fat lunch meats.
High-fat poultry like duck
Chicken skin
Nuts and seeds
Whole or 2% milk
Creme or half-and-half
Cheese (unless reduced fat)
Dairy or other products made from whole milk, or cheese
Added sodium
Alcohol of any kind

It is not very specific, but it is all they offered me. The key is fat content and preparation.

Most of the foods on the AVOID list are high-fat. I have been doing OK with coffee, tea and orange juice, so I don't think you need to worry about those. Banana are high in potassium, somthing they pump into you after an attack, so I think you're good there too. They didn't say anything about acidic drinks to me. Oatmeal is good. Candy is often high in sugar but low fat so it should be good in moderation (unless you have diabetes). The bugaboo with pretzels is salt and if they were browned using butter.

Your list is good--I've had great luck avoiding pretty much the same things. My only addition (and I ignore it myself), would be coffee. Most times, pancreatitis is accompanied by acid reflux and GERD, which are both irritated by coffee.
