Nutrition in cystic fibrosis.
The goal of nutritional care for the CF patient should be to support normal growth and development, even if the patient has pancreatic insufficiency. By optimizing nutritional habits, using potent pancreatic enzyme supplements effectively and treating patients with appropriate micronutrient supplements, physicians should be able to prevent malnutrition and enhance the general health of cystic fibrosis patients.
