    Gluten free? Anybody know anything?

    Lance dont recall where I read it. Many CFers have celiac disease so getting off gluten is a good idea b/c there seems to be some connection between CF/celiac. I don't have celiac but I have tons of it's symptoms. When I stopped eating gluten i didn't have as much gas and bloat.

    Gluten free? Anybody know anything?

    Glueten free is recommended for people with CF. I went a step farther: paleo. No dairy, grains, junk food, meat. My intestines and body have thanked me.

    Digestive Enzymes

    I just started taking ZenPep. The naturopathic medicine did help me but not enough. The Zen have is about five times stronger as the naturopathic stuff. I am going to see a specialist to make sure I am taking the right amount of Sanpat

    Best CF Centers in the World?

    Excellent question. I think we should all post our experiences with different places. I trust the patients more than the doctor's on rating services.
