Today we have a very special guest with us,
Jahanvi Malhotra who is a medical aspirant who is gonna talk about the journey related to her medical illness & diet.
Back in early 2021, she began experiencing severe stomach pain after which she consulted a doctor who advised a sonography. After reviewing the reports, she was referred to a gastroenterologist for further evaluation. Based on his recommendation, an MRI was done — and that’s when she discovered the real issue : her main pancreatic duct was filled with multiple stones.
The doctor advised an ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) procedure to address the problem. She underwent the first ERCP on 29th March 2021, and from then on, she has had to go through the stent exchange process every six months — a total of six ERCP procedures over the following years.
But everything changed in August 2024, when she met Dr. Kishlay and i encouraged her to adopt meat & fatbased diet which is in contrast to what she was prescribed,i.e starch based high carb diet like daal khichdi, roti etc.
As she had been vegetarian all her life but somehow she got convinced & following carnivore diet eventually transformed her health.
With strict discipline and complete dedication to the diet & guidance i provided,
She never experienced any problem on high fat diet despite being a sufferer of chronic pancreatitis.
She started feeling better on high fat diet.
By the time she went in for her last ERCP, something amazing happened — the stent was removed from my pancreatic duct and most importantly, no new stones were found therein.
This journey has been life-changing for her. She is still following the diet religiously, and she truly believes that this disciplined lifestyle played a huge role in her healing
& she isn't diabetic anymore,
HbA1c came down to 5.1 from 7.1.
