A CFer's fingernails

Hey y'all!

I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced fingernails (and toenails) that aren't strong, break easily and has fingers that start peeling at the tip.

Well, I recently started a hard-core vitamin regime and I am pleased to announce that my nails have embarked on a new regime of hott-ness! They are hydrated, not peeling, strong and don't break anymore. Basically, they look healthy! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

My daily vitamin/herbal remedy regime is as follows (and maybe this is overdoing it, but i don't think you can ever truly overdo anything w. CF maintanence)

1 Tumeric
1 ADEK
1 Fishoil
1 Flakseed oil
2 Vitamin D
2 garlic pills

There is probably a reason for these improved nails due to this, anyone know the details?

I have heard gelatin capsules are good for healthy nails too. They are very cheap and I take them for my hair and nails. (but I don't take half the other stuff you do, so my nails are still a bit weak)

If I had to guess I'd say it's probably the flaxseed oil and ADEKs.. maybe the turmeric since that does so many good things. Nice to know it's working for you, at any rate. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I'm going to try adding some more supplements to my routine, I'll look into the other ones you listed.

Are thin, week peeling nails common in CF?? For ten years I have brough up my kids nails to thier various Dr.s. Not one had anything to say. Their nails are so weak if they get long you can bend them. I can also peel a layer off of them.

I think so. I think it stems from a lack of vitamin deficiency as well as (possible) malnutrition. When I was little my Doctor always looked at my nails and would put me on an extra vitamin if they looked like they needed help.
