Abstract

The article explores the reasons for changing the traditional dietary recommendations for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The factors for malnutrition in CF include poor energy intake, severe intestinal malabsorption and increased energy expenditure. Glucose polymers, concentrated glucose drinks and the complete supplemented milk-based feeds are some dietary supplements preferred for CF patients. Breastfeeding the CF infant provides protective factors and contains lipase.
