Mushrooms not only taste great, but they are a true gift from nature. One study found that Coco mushrooms, which come to us from Asia, blocked the MMP gene, which has been linked to the development of pancreatic cancer.

7. Red Grapes

Red grapes contain resveratrol, which is a powerful antioxidant. You can also find this in red wine, but for those with pancreatitis, you should avoid wine. Eat a handful of red grapes everyday day to get more of this unique and powerful antioxidant.

8. Licorice Root

This herb has long been used for numerous problems, including problems with the pancreas. Licorice root is a super anti-inflammatory which can reduce the pain and swelling that often comes from pancreatitis. Drink three or more cups of licorice root tea each day or consume a supplement after speaking to your doctor.
