Nausea and vomiting are one of the most common symptoms in acute pancreatitis. In addition to pharmacological methods for nausea and vomiting, non-pharmacological methods can also be used. Among these, anticipatory nausea and vomiting can be prevented by behaviors aimed at distracting attention. This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of chewing gum on the severity of nausea-vomiting and thirst in patients with acute pancreatitis. The study will be conducted with a total of 60 patients, 30 intervention and 30 control.

Patients in the intervention group will chew xylitol gum five times a day for three days. The patients' thirst and nausea and vomiting conditions will be examined.
