Need to supplement vitamins?

[Tiffado]

Just wondering if anyone knows if CF causes malabsorption of vitamins in everyone or only if you have pancreatic insufficiency....

My 7 week old is not expected to have any pancreatic involvement (DF08 and R117H-7T) but her CF center started her on liquid vitamins. Source CF.

I am not for sure that everyone has issues with malabsorption of vitamins in CF or not, but I do know that vitamin levels are very important for all CFer's.

I believe that it is routine for all the CF centers to do vitamin level checks annually on all CF patients. Plus, taking vitamins seems to be almost a norm for all people these days but it is especially important for the health of the CFer. I also know that in my sons case, who is pancreatic insufficient, that he also takes extra Vitamin D, K, and E along with his CF vitamin.

Not sure this helps or not but I think it is a good idea for her to take the vitamin and make it a habit for her now rather than later.

LOL
