Navigating changing cystic fibrosis nutritional needs
CFTR Modulator medications can impact the nutritional status of individuals living with cystic fibrosis by addressing the underlying genetic mutation and therefore facilitating improved nutrient absorption and better lung function.
For some people CFTR modulator therapy may require you to make dietary changes.
You may notice:
-
- Improved appetite
- Changes to nutrient absorption
- Changes to weight
