my niece       12/05/05 07:54 AM Edit Reply Quote Portageegal Reged: 06/28/05 Posts: 940 Loc: Massachusetts My niece Lauren is 25 and has CF. It effects the mucus in your body and makes it very sticky and glue-like. It really does a number on the lungs. The sticky mucus clogs normal absorbtion of things and blocks certain things from getting into the system, like insulin from the pancreas, thus she is diabetic. She has to take digestive hormones with every meal because hers cannot get into her digestive tract. Stuff tends to "go right through" people with CF. Putting on weight is hard but very important. Unfortunatly she has come down with GERD and has a hard time eating now. She was down to 80 pounds a few weeks ago. It SUCKS !!!! She is a great kid, too. -------------------- Carol nós somos o que nós somos e o descanso é merda Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
