WHY does Connor have to have a high fat, high protein, high caloric, high salt diet? | Questions most often asked about CF |
Posted by Charla Schriever on 11/01/2005 | |
He must have extra fat, protein and calories because he does not absorb these well due to his insufficient pancreas. If he didn't eat this way, he would lose weight. He must have extra salt because he loses a lot salt in his sweat, which leads to dehydration. |
