Not taking enzymes...
Because of insurance problems, I haven't been able to take my enzymes for about a week...I've been getting constipation, is this normal? Like I feel that I have to go to the bathroom but after I sit I can't get anything out. Also, I think I've lost a little bit of weight...will that continue to happen? (I don't take a lot of enzymes...usually only 3 a day, have been taking them for 8 years) and I will get this insurance mishap cleared up, but I just wanted to know in the meantime.

Antacid if enzymes don't seem to work properly?
Hello everyone,
We have recently been told to increase Creon, because our son wasn't (and still isn't) gaining weight properly. It has been four weeks with the higher dose, without any significant changes of his weight. I was wondering whether it might be necessary to add an antacid. Or change from Creon to different enzymes. My son is 7 months old. We are adding enough oil or butter to all his food, so I don't think the problem is calories..
Thanks for any recommendations or your experiences!

A miraculous home remedy !!!!!
I have a miracuolous home remedy that almost completely solve my problems. It's drinking Sodium-Chloride solution !!! Just a little every day, I also inhale it (boil it then inhale) and it cured muy lungs, I tried it first a month ago and it was a miracle to me. I advice everyone to try it. It is probably so beneficial as the main problem with cf is actually not transporting water and electrolites through lungs, intestines etc. This was a true miracle for me I advice everyone to try it it can do no harm.

Does anyone deal with constant nausea?
I've known I had CF for about four years now. I'm 51 years old.
I have a deltaF508 and a D1152h so it's like medium onset instead of late onset.
I've had constant daily nausea as well as very poor appetite since I was roughly in my mid thirties but getting worse now.
Just wondering if anyone else experiences this extreme hunger pain / nausea on a regular basis?
I assume it's part of the mal-absorption complex of symptoms.... extreme hunger pains could be a typical response to a failure to deliver the vitamin D and calcium like we're supposed to.
I have the feeling of craving something but it's like an itch I can never...

Juicing
Is it safe for someone with CF to juice? I've been thinking it'd be a great way to get a bit more healthy and maybe even lose a bit of fat. How could I make juicing safe? I was thinking of juicing for 7-10 days. (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Nutrition Forum)

Food Allergies - I am becoming allergic to EVERYTHING!
About 5 years ago I started having very loose stools, stopped absorbing my food and had a burning irritated stomach. I started noticing a correlation with milk and eventually figured out that I had a dairy allergy. Once I cut dairy out of my diet the burning in my stomach went away, I began absorbing my food again and everything went back to normal.
Since then I have slowly but surely become allergic to just about all foods including rice, soy, chicken/egg, beef, pork, fish/seafood, wheat, nuts, potatoes etc. I am basically living on two foods now, corn and quinoa. I can also have some green vegetables such as broccoli, ...

How can I safely lose 10 lb?
So I asked my CF dr if I could lose weight to get abs and stuff. She said I can lose weight if I wanted to, and she said I shouldn't lose more than 10 lb or so. So how do I do this safely? (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Nutrition Forum)

Water+Thyroid disease
Most water in the USA has fluoride in it. I have Hoshimoto's Thyroid disease and should not be drinking or ingesting fluroide and neither should you. The fluoride in water is NOT calcium fluoride. It is socium fluoride - a carcinigen made from pollution from various steel and manufacturing plants. I finally found a natural spring water here locally that delivers in a BPA free jug. I can't wait to get it on Tuesday to see if I feel better.
I am wondering how many CFer's also have thyroid diease?
