Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease that causes certain organs, such as pancreas and lungs to become clogged.
Slow growth, foul smelling stools, weight loss, extreme hunger, coughing, wheezing, extreme sweating, salty skin, frequent sinus and chest infections (including bronchitis and pneumonia), blockage of the bowels. Some symptoms may occur without others and vary with age.
Though there are many clinical trials underway, medical treatment is focused on relieving the symptoms. Find Information on clinical trials, treatment, and Cystic Fibrosis Symptoms at the NIH.
Because Cystic Fibrosis interferes with digestion of fats and certain vitamins, arrange a special diet with your doctor (diet should be low fat and high in salt and calories). Ask the doctor about supplementing pancreatic enzymes to aid in digestion. Supplement your diet with natural Multi-Vitamins and Multi-Minerals, along with extra doses of the following to help make up for digestion problems:
Vitamin A
Zinc
Vitamin E
Omega 3; 3 per day, 1 at
beginning of each meal.
Lecithin; taken with the
Omega 3.
Selenium
