Our Community Principles
Pancreatitisbeings is a safe, supportive space for sharing knowledge about pancreatitis, diabetes, recipes, lifestyle, and friendly medical advice. We encourage positive interactions to help members live happily. Founded by Kapil Soni, our guidelines ensure respect and usefulness. Violation may lead to post removal or account suspension.
Key Rules for Participation
1. Be Respectful and Supportive: Treat others with kindness. Share experiences without judgment. For example, if discussing diet, focus on what worked for you rather than criticizing others' choices.
2. No Medical Advice as Professionals: We're not doctors—share personal tips or general knowledge (e.g., 'I found ginger tea helpful for nausea'), but recommend consulting professionals for personalized advice.
3. Stay On-Topic: Posts should relate to pancreatitis (acute/chronic), diabetes, recipes, lifestyle, or exercise. Off-topic content may be removed.
4. No Spam or Promotion: Avoid self-promotion or links to external sales. Share genuine resources like free recipes or non-profit sites.
5. Protect Privacy: Don't share personal health details without consent. Use pseudonyms if preferred.
Lifestyle Tips for Pancreatitis and Diabetes
Adopt a low-fat diet to reduce pancreatic strain—focus on fruits, veggies, lean proteins like fish, and avoid fried foods. For exercise, gentle activities like walking 30 minutes daily or yoga (e.g., Cobra Pose) can improve digestion and blood sugar control.

Recipe Idea: Oatmeal with berries and almond milk—easy on the pancreas and stabilizes blood sugar. Exercise Tip: Swimming helps without stressing the abdomen.
