CF
- Question
- Which food is not recommended for patient with cystic fibrosis?
Sincerely,
Medical student of Vilnius University
- Answer
- Dear Guestioner
Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) should be encouraged to follow a normal dietary pattern with no specific restrictions. However patients with CF often require a greater fat intake than that recommended for the general population. Parents should avoid giving their children with CF low fat or low calorie foods. The majority of individuals with CF can tolerate a normal to high fat diet if treated with pancreatic enzymes in doses matched to fat intake. Patients with CF are advised to take in a high salt diet also. Patients with CF should avoid taking foods with low salt as well.
Sincerely,
Assoc. Prof. Edvardas Danila
