The book discusses diseases of the pancreas, especially the diagnosis and treatment of individual diseases. Here, patients learn how to deal with dietary measures, find information about the nature of the disease and also about possible diagnostic procedures. The passage about acute pancreatitis is unique. Returning to normal diet, or pancreatic diet, is delayed if the disease is not yet in a resting phase. Administration of artificial nutrition through a thin nasojejunal tube in home conditions is a measure that will allow patients to return to their home environment sooner. The book is supplemented with recipes for individual phases of the diet with recommendations on what the patient should place the greatest emphasis on.
