INTRO

All of the recipes and tips were designed by registered dieticians who are board-certified specialists in oncology nutrition affiliated with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and Meals to Heal, along with an accomplished chef.

The diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, at any stage, may create challenges in a person’s diet and change nutritional needs. Getting enough nutrients and managing loss of appetite and problems with digestion are just some of the issues people with pancreatic cancer face. To help with these issues, the Cooking. Comfort. Care. Nourishment for Pancreatic Cancer Fight Cookbook aims to provide people living with pancreatic cancer and their caregivers with a wide range of flavorful recipes – including recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizers, sides, desserts and beverages as well as holiday and seasonal tips – to make preparing healthy, and memorable dishes for any meal of the day easier.

NUTRITIONTIPS

vii

• Provide specific ideas about what sounds good to you. Every bite counts!

• Provide a list of your dietary restrictions so that friends and family do not unintentionally bring foods that may aggravate your symptoms.

• You also can experiment with new foods during this time; some people find that new foods become their favorites.

• Sometimes your favorite standbys can be the best and most appetizing things to eat. Consider providing family and friends with your special recipes.

• Have family or friends help you make a shopping list and have them do the shopping.

GENERAL RECIPE SUBSTITUTIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH PANCREATIC CANCERIf you can’t tolerate fat due to fat malabsorption, choose non-fat or low-fat dairy products, decrease the amount of oil used and avoid adding nuts. Two egg whites may be substituted for one egg.

If you can’t tolerate lactose in your diet due to gas, bloating or diarrhea associated with dairy consumption, substitute with lactose-free milk or soy, rice, or almond milk.

If you have diabetes or elevated blood sugar, you may reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe or ask your healthcare team for a recommended sugar substitute.

If you are intolerant to gluten, gluten-free flour can easily be substituted in any recipe.
