Cystic fibrosis and the main facts This hereditary condition, which is caused by a defective gene, is primarily characterized by scarring and cysts that form in the pancreas and lungs. The gene affects those cells responsible for the production of mucus, digestive juices and sweat, in a ...
Diet for infants with cystic fibrosis: A 2012 study reported that breast milk is the preferred diet for infants with cystic fibrosis during the first year of life.3 A study conducted in Italy found that breastfeeding improved lung function and lowered the incidence of infection during the fi...
In cystic fibrosis (CF), a decline in nutrition status has been linked to a reduction in activity levels and exercise capacity. Despite this, research in the field of nutrition for the exercising CF patient has been limited, and evidence-based recommendations are not yet available. With careful...
Furthermore, the identity of these bacteria affects host immune and metabolic parameters, with broad implications for human health. Familiarity with these associations will be of tremendous use to the practitioner as well as the patient. Background The gut microbiome The human gut microbiome ...
Rare variants in the TMC8 gene, which encodes for a transmembrane channel-like protein, were previously discovered to be associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity in Russian and Japanese patient cohorts69,70. Additionally, variants in the TMC8 locus were associated with the levels of ...
Noteworthy is that their diet should not differ from principles of nutrition of healthy people, if only it is well tolerated by patient's organism. We must keep in mind, however, that nutrition of stoma patients depends on location of stoma, underlying disease and preoperative nutritional status...

for such circumstances. However, keeping control over what the Cystic fibrosis or Mucoviscidosis patient eats is very important by the time he grows up to the age of an adult. This is because the mucus that is built up in the body will block the duct of his pancreas that is instrumental...

[164,165]. This tool has broad implications for individualized patient care through dietary modification. While this and other technology is in the process of being refined and validated, further research using large, long-term clinical trials to evaluate a greater variety of food components would ...
