Enzymes

Just a question for anyone....

If a child is diagnosed with cf before, at, or shortly after birth, do they

automatically prescribe enzymes without waiting to see if the child really needs

them? JC was diagnosed at 4 months. While he was thin, he was on the growth

charts. The clinic has monitored his weight carefully, but because he continues

to gain and has " normal " stools, he seems to be pancreatic sufficient. I

realize that with most cf kids it is painfully obvious that they need enzymes, I

was just wondering if its not obvious do most clinics wait and see or do they

give enzymes automatically. Just curious.

Hi Kristi,

As almost everyone has said already, it is incredibly fortunate that you

found out before he is born. Kate was diagnosed at two months, and I

was a wreck for that time period. Things were MUCH better after

diagnosis! She grew fat and rosy and happy (finally)! I've mulled it

over a little and here's some stuff I wish I had known at the beginning.

3) Enzymes will most likely be prescribed for your baby. I fed these to

Kate in applesauce, but other acidic foods work too. Anybody have

favorites other than applesauce?
