In what cases should you stop taking the drink?
For pancreatitis, tea kvass based on homemade mushrooms is beneficial, but it cannot always be taken. During periods of acute pain, the infusion of medusomycetes should be abandoned. Pancreatitis in the acute phase is treated with fasting; only after the pain subsides do they begin to use medications and homemade medicinal drinks.
You should not drink kombucha during chronic pancreatitis with severe pain during an exacerbation for several reasons:
- The drink contains a certain amount of sugar. In case of acute inflammation of the pancreas, a sweetened infusion will only worsen the condition and negatively affect the cellular structure of the pancreas.
- Kombucha infusion contains alcohol-containing components. Their concentration is extremely low, and under normal circumstances the drink does not pose a threat to the body - it contains no more alcoholic compounds than kefir. However, in the acute stage of pancreatitis, even a tiny amount of alcohol substances provokes a deterioration of the condition and leads to increased pain.
- Kombucha infusion is obtained as a result of fermentation; it triggers similar processes in the intestines.In a healthy state, this does not cause harm to the body, but with exacerbation of pancreatitis it can lead to bloating, flatulence and cramps, which will only worsen the patient’s well-being.
- Medusomycete contains many organic acids, which have a stimulating effect on digestion. The rate and volume of production of digestive enzymes increases, while during an exacerbation of pancreatitis, the main task is to provide the pancreas with rest and reduce the synthesis of enzymes.
Thus, drinking a medicinal infusion of medusomycetes for pancreatitis is strictly prohibited if the patient still has pain, heaviness in the epigastric region, nausea and vomiting. It is necessary to wait until all these symptoms disappear under the influence of a hunger strike and medications, only then kombucha and the pancreas can interact without pain and other negative symptoms.
