Cystic Fibrosis Diet?? |
I'm 19 years old and have cystic fibrosis. I'm 5 foot 10 inches tall and weigh 115 pounds. I've been struggling to gain weight for years now. Any suggestions from other CF'ers as to what a college student on a limited budget can eat to put on some weight??? http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/nutrition/... |
