Vegetables should be OK such as carrots, or winter squash for example.
There is an email group special for people with pets that have pancreatitis to share ideas etc
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dogpancreatitis/
and this site has some recipes for diets for dogs with this problem

I'd make any changes really slowly to make sure you don't trigger an episode.
Hope this helps you!
