| Summary: | Objective: Acute pancreatitis is most often caused by gallstones. There is no clear relationship between diet and gallstone pancreatitis. The purpose of this research was to examine dietary differences in pancreatitis patients with gallstones. Material and Method: Patients with acute biliary pancreatitis and patients with gallstones without pancreatitis were included in this prospective case-control study. Groups were set to be similar in case numbers, age, gender, and gallbladder stone size. A threeday food consumption questionnaire and a food consumption frequency questionnaire were applied to all volunteers. The BeBis 8 Full version program was used to evaluate body mass index, alcohol and cigarette consumption status, daily physical activity status, eating frequency, and food consumption status. Result: A total of 120 patients, including 60 patients who developed pancreatitis due to gallstones, and 60 patients who only had gallstones were included in the study. Among the demographic data, monthly income was statistically higher in pancreatitis. In addition, it was found that the daily milk-yoghurt, red meat, chicken, salami-sausage, egg, rice-pasta, protein, fat, and cholesterol intakes of patients with pancreatitis were significantly higher. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, it was determined that the increase in daily milk-yoghurt, egg, rice-pasta and protein intake were independent risk factors. Conclusion: Reducing the consumption of red meat, eggs, fat, cholesterol, milk-yoghurt, rice and pasta, salami and sausage in people with gallstones may reduce the incidence of acute pancreatitis in these individuals. |
