So theoretically it should be ideal for pancreatic insufficient patients. But I haven't heard of many patients, who use it successfully. One reason might be, that the whole process of fatty acids metabolism is a mess in CF-patients and the other might be, that the body can't gain weight from MCT oils but only use it at once (read that somewhere, but can't find the source anymore). And I was told that it tastes yucky. We have never tried it with Fiona, but it is one of the things I would try if Fiona had a weight gain problem. Out of my head I know of only one mom, who gives MCT oil to her preteen son ( from Erie, but I have to look up her addy). Bye-bye Torsten, dad of Fiona 3wcf e-mail: aberdeen95@... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Big Groups = big savings @ beMANY! http://click./1/4112/6/_/480698/_/960139700/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *********************** This is a secular list. *********************** -------------------------------------------------- The opinions and information exchanged on this list should IN NO WAY be construed as medical advice.
