Excuse me I do not mean to sound ignorant, or uneducated, but is osteoporosis something that those with CF or my lung disease more susceptible too? My brother is only 29 and I am 31 so am just curious. He just diagnosed with Osteoporosis a couple of months ago.</end quote></div>

In addition to what Ferris said, CFers have malabsorbtion issues, we don't digest fat soluable vitamins like A,D,E or K very well, if at all. Vitamin D and Calcium go hand in hand. Vit D helps in the uptake and body's use of the calcium. Since we are vit D deficient, we are also calcium deficient, unless we have a way to counter that. We take enzymes to help in digestion of these fat soluable vitamins because most of our pancreases are etiher not functioning or reduced fuctioning. BTW That is why you often see store bought milk with vit D added to it. It helps those regular people out there who lack vit D in their diets to absorb the calcium.

She doesn't have CF.... so the malabsorbtion issue doesn't apply to her (although I did mention all of what you said in my post 11/12/2009 03:34 PM <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> )

Yes you did. Did you see that I gave you credit? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> But she was asking if there was a relationship between CFers and her. From what we have described she can extrapolate that there is indeed no relationship, as ours is do to malabsorbtion issues, unless its related to lung function. That I know nothing of.
