What is the diet for acute pancreatitis

Question

Asked for Female, 24 Years

Acute pancreatitis primarily occurs due to heavy intake of alcohol; this was the reason my niece was diagnosed with this disease. She is still young so we are apprehensive of her health. Along with the right treatment, we also wish to provide her with the right diet. It will help if someone can tell me what the diet for acute pancreatitis is!
