CYSTIC FIBROSIS
AVOID
Low-calorie products

A genetic disease the glands that produce mucus, sweat, enzymes, and other secretions. The most serious consequences of the disease occur in the lungs, pancreas, and intestines, all of which become clogged with thick mucus. As the lungs become congested, they are especially vulnerable to pneumonia and other infections. When the ducts the normally carry pancreatic enzymes to the small intestine become clogged, difficulty in breaking down fats and protein is the result, along with other digestive problems. Abnormal amounts of salt are lost in sweat and saliva, which can lead to serious imbalances in body chemistry.
At the moment there is no cure for cystic fibrosis, although scientists are testing gene therapy as a means of correcting the underlying genetic defect. In the meantime, a combination of an enriched diet, vitamin supplements, replacement enzymes, antibiotics and other medications, and regular postural drainage to clear mucus from the lungs serves as the best treatment, and has greatly improved the outlook for people with cystic fibrosis.

DIETARY DIFFRENCES
Parents often find it difficult to deal with the dietary recommendations for a child with cystic fibrosis. It’s important to understand that the nutritional needs of a person with cystic fibrosis are very different from those of a healthy person. A high-calorie diet with as much protein and fat as can be tolerated is necessary. Prescription enzymes that improve absorption of fats and protein have made a big difference in living with cystic fibrosis. Fats provide more calories per unit than other nutrients, so they are a critical source of energy. The body also needs fat in order to absorb vitamins A,D,E, and K.
In the absence of diabetes, it’s not necessary to restrict sugary foods. These simple carbohydrates are more easily absorbed than starches. The amino acids needed for growth, immune function, and repair and maintenance of body tissue.
