My son has spent 3 weeks in hospital after being diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. He has been put on a low fat diet. No oil, butter or margarine. No chocolates, cakes, biscuits, dressings, peanut butter, potato chips, full cream dairy products, fatty meat, roasts or fried, no bacon or processed meats (salami or ham), no tuna in oil.

You can eat bread, crumpets, cereal, rice, pasta, flour, salada's and crackers (low fat varieties). Fresh, frozen or canned vegetables, grilled lean beef, lamb, veal, pork, chicken (skinless). Tuna canned in water or brine, egg white, dried beans, peas and lentils. Skim milk, low fat yoghurt and icecream and low fat cottage cheese. Also allowed herbs, spices, vegemite, jam, marmalade, boiled/jellied sweets, ice-cream toppings. Water, juice, cordial, soft drink, tea and coffee. All juices, fresh, frozen or canned fruits.

Hope this listing helps you come up with some ideas.

Interesting. That list does look acurate, but for some reason chocolate doesnt affect my pancreas...
