Hi, Just a quick question.... I know that sweat is always an issue for dehydration etc., but my daughter seems to sweat easily and will wake in the a.m. soaking. Do others with CF notice that they sweat more easily or is that just her body type?Just curious <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0">)

My daughter, every since she was a wee baby, has been a furnace. She sweats a ton, especially during nap time and at night. During the day, i just give her popcicles, water, and chips to help keep her hydrated and replenish the salt. Our CF clinic advised to offer pedialyte (because my daughter is only 2) as well on really hot days or if we are outside for an extended amount of time.good luck.Christiemommy to twins malachi wocf and mylee wcf
I too give my daughter lots of extra salt...I add salt to her foods, like mashed potatoes, corn, fries, the normal foods and use butter rather than margarine. (butter with salt added)In the summer I sometimes add salt to her drinks, enough to be effective, but not enough to change the taste too much.As the children grow older and their salt levels decrease.....they can get salt tablets. My daughter is 7 (almost 8) and does not require the salt tablets yet. Just keep adding the salt and butter to your childrens meals and snacks.....you're doing them good<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Ever since I can remember, I've loved salt. I salt anything I eat to where if I'm in public, people stare. I don't give a damn, it tastes good! Anyhow, I've never needed salt tablets because I do salt everything I eat so much. So if you keep salting the kids' food, you'll probably be fine.
