Guest guest Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 New to this site... I've got 2 boys with CF and am interested in knowing if there are additional vitamins, herbs, or suppliments that should be added to their diet. They are 13 and 16, with good lung functions and good size/weight. We do the usual fats/proteins, lots of 1/2 & 1/2 added to milk and Scandy shake. We add L-glutamine as a suppliment daily and the usual ADEKs/Vitamax. (were in a study that looked at L-glutamine related to CF muscle/growth development and it seemed to have an effect) Are there any suggestions for additional vitamins, minerals, herbs, or other suppliments? In my limited viewing, I saw some references to zinc and copper but don't really want to experiment without additional knowledge/information. The CF doctors and nutritionists don't seem to have much knowledge/ information in this area or they don't want to suggest much outside normal medicine specifics. You suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
