Food in case of repeated intestinal obstruction
- Question
- Hello, my daughter has cystic fibrosis and often presents with intestinal obstruction. What should I feed her with to prevent these episodes? Thank you
- Answer
- Hello,
I do not know how old your daughter is, but here are some recommendations to improve the bowel function.
I advise you a balanced diet rich in fiber: vegetables, fresh fruits. However, it remains important to keep starchy foods in the diet
I advise you an adequate hydratation every day, even in absence of thirst: water, soup, fruit juices.
You have to keep in mind to take the treatment and the pancreatic enzymes as prescribed and recommended by your doctor resp. the treatment with pancreatic enzymes should be optimized according to digestion and symptoms.
Sincerely
Marythé Kerbrat
