Re: Weight gain...

Hi,

I totally agree with . The CF-kids often crave for salt and

other spices.

Fiona had big problems with chunky food, we had to blend everything

and she lived mainly on baby formula until the age of five. But as

long as she ate we didn't care whether it was " appropriate to her

age " or not.

Another problem was, that Fiona was not interested in eating, she

never felt hungry. So we had to spoonfeed her and she always had toys

or books with her during the meal.

Sounds weird, but in retroperspective we are quite happy that we did

it that way. Today, at almost 7 Fiona is a normal eater with no oral

aversions and good weight (25 to 50% height to weight). It's only

that her behavior at the dining table is really bad (can't sit still

for five minutes), but we are working on it.

Peace

Torsten, dad of Fiona 6wcf and Sebastian 8mo wocf

reason that I ask is that, because I was at my wit's end with

at about the same age, I let her try mild salsa, even though I " knew "

that she wouldn't like it. Well, was I wrong! I suddenly found out

that she loved the stuff. If I put it in eggs, she would eat them.

Rice too. Even if I cooked chicken or steak with it. She also

likes things like broccoli. The nutritionist at our center explained

that lots of kids with CF like spicier, stronger flavored things. I

hope that this helps some.
