Re: Relationship between pancreatitits and Cystic Fibrosis

[Guest guest]

Hello Donna,

My dx of CF was done due pancreatitis.

Pancreas problems are quite common in people with CF.

CF causes mucus plugs in various organs incl. lungs and pancreas. This

condition can leads to pancreatic insufficiency and sometimes chronic

pancreatitis.

Of course CF is well known for lungs issues, but digestive troubles (not

only pancreas) is also a big problem.

Bye for now,

Liane
