PREVENTION AND ALLEVIATING SYMPTOMS

OMITTING POOR DIETS OF HIGHLY PROCESSED, POOR-QUALITY FATS

Inflammation of the pancreatitis disrupts normal functions such as blood sugar levels, and producing digestive enzymes necessary for nutrient digestion and absorption. Poor quality diets, processed food high in carbohydrates (which convert to sugar), cooked fats, and drugs especially steroids contribute to the epidemic of chronic, low-grade pancreatitis. Risk factors include diabetes, obesity, and pre-existing GI digestive issues.

In the wild, the natural enzyme-rich nutrition dogs receive from raw foods helps maintain their pancreatic health. In the same way, a species-appropriate nutritionally balanced, raw food diet is preferred for treatment of pancreatic disease in pets. Mimicking the blood of prey, our diet has Celtic Sea Salt as a necessary nutrient and mineral required to make bile acids, which help digest fat. Unlike common table salt, Celtic Sea Salt is not detrimental to pet health. It is included because a lack of proper salt in the diet also contributes to poor health.

We ferment our raw food, which means it’s predigested and abundant with enzymes, thereby removing stress from the pancreas. Fermented raw milks are nutrient-dense and contribute to healthy flora in the digestive system. Correcting leaky gut will allow the inflammatory response to turn off, which can profoundly improve any condition permitting the immune system to work the way it was designed and not in a state of constant inflammation. AnswersTM DetailedTM raw diets have less than 2% carbohydrates. They are also a rich source of digestive enzymes, which are critical for a healthy pancreas, through ingredients like fermented wholefoods, meat, and organs. Detailed raw diets also have an optimal protein-to-fat ratio of 1:1.
