I've been off gluten for 10 days now and I'm feeling very well! It's been really easy, actually. I eat corn and rice crackers, and have made a delicious gluten-free bread on the bread machine. For pasta, I've found corn and rice substitutes (the cheapest, at the Asian grocery store!). I eat rice...

Hello! Some of you already know, for sure, but I didn't until a couple weeks ago and some other people don't know either. I remember reading a post,time ago, where somebody said after a while of using the eFlow (in particular with hypertonic saline), the nebulization time had increased so it...

How important do you feel that it is to go sugar-free? I eat very little sugar (once or twice a day I have one small sweet item, no more than a tablespoon in size), and only 1-2 teaspoons of honey a day. Very rarely I have an actual dessert (maximum once a week, more likely every other week). Is...

Have you checked for gluten intolerance? It can grow progressively and unadvertently. I have myself dropped from 80% FEV1 in 2009 to 60% in 2011 to 48% in March 2012 and 38% in May 2012 and even the doctor doesn't know why. Started going gluten-free and in five days I had the chance to be tested...

We should all create a web or blog of some sort entitled "dietary fixes for CF" or something like that, sharing our experiences openly! After 5 days gluten-free, my FEV1 increased 2 percentage points (I realize that's anecdotally small but at least encouraging). I'm excited about going on! I've...

Have you checked for gluten intolerance? I became aware of it just about a week ago and it's astonishing how many symptoms (including bloating and irregular periods) that come from it!! Besides, a diet free from gluten and diary products seems extremely good for CF and other diseases, so I'm...

Sats do go up, so don't freak out!! I've had them low for years, then been up to 100% saturation (or 99% on other machines), down to 92 when sick, then back up to 97... And lung function does go back up too!

Have you checked out the symptoms for gluten intolerance? I got into the subject this week, and now that I've been off gluten for two days the bloating has reduced considerably!

How funny you post this now! I started on it Wednesday this week and I'm feeling so much better! It started with my interaction with an Italian CF-er, 30 years old, who reported that while following it strictly for one year (and making it alcalinizing - also no coffee, no wine, and a triple shot...

Try breathing in lavender 15 minutes before your antibiotics! (1 liter boiling water, 3 drops of pure lavender essential oil, towel over head and breathe for 5-7 minutes). Unless you have a tendency towards astma, I've read this is soothing the lungs and somehow preparing them to accept the...
