Enzymes with everything?????????????

[Jenica]

I don't limit her EATING, but I do limit her snacking so that she's not constantly grazing on food throughout the day. Her doctor advised us in this direction, and it seems to work a lot better for her this way. The times when she does a lot of snacking between meals she won't eat much, if anything at all, during her next meal. And for her, several little snacks do not seem to add up to a snack plus a meal. She definitely gets more calories this way. And I agree that many small meals are healthier than three large ones, but don't forget we're talking about small children here, who spend more time sleeping than awake. Twelve or so hours at night plus a couple hour nap means that between breakfast, lunch, dinner and a few snacks, she never goes long without eating something.

I was told he didn't need enzymes with fruits, sodas, water, hard candies, gummie candies and popsicles. I dont really know if that is right either.

That is correct. However, whenever possible, something that has more substantial calories in it is a preferable option. I think of food as fuel. I know that's difficult to convey to children, but if you start them young with good habits and teach them to go for the better snack options, you are setting them up for good nutrition in the future.

Nutrition is SO important in CF. Here's a summary of what the CFF patient registry report has to say about the effects of nutrition on lung function.
