The main risk factors or causes of pancreatitis include:
- chronic alcoholism
- biliary tract disease
- gallstones
- viral infections
If you suspect you may have pancreatitis make sure you get checked out by your doctor/GP. An Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) can help you to manage this condition through dietary strategies that help to relieve the symptoms associated with pancreatitis. To find an APD, head the the Dietitians Association of Australia's website: www.daa.asn.au
