    Is it just me or does Creon taste nasty?

    no. They're probably a few months old Not really no, if I drink it a lot it does. But I think it's the pills them selves that have a weird gross taste

    I'm always tired!

    So when I went to the docs, they said I was low in vitamins A,D,E, and K (wonder why :rolleyes:). Do those vitamins support energy? If I start taking my special CF vitamins (specifically with high amounts of A,D,E,K ) what difference will I feel and how soon?

    Well, Monday is the day I'm going to start eating really healthy and working out hard

I've tried asking my doctor (he says text him any question any time) but he hasn't responded and I feel he's getting annoyed of me constantly asking if I can take different supplements. So I'm asking here, can you just look it...

    Why must we have high calories?

    when they checked my blood I was low in those vitamins. I've always had really no energy, I'd wake up, go to school, come home and take a nap and I was wondering if its due to me being low in those vitamins?

    Why must we have high calories?

    so if I were to take a multivitamin with say, 100% vitamin a b and c i would only be getting about 65-75% vitamin a b and c. Correct?

    Why must we have high calories?

    I don't exactly understand why other than, our body burns more. Where does the extra 1000-2000 calories go? How many more calories on spent on our breathing vs a normal persons breathing?

    So when I first wake up, I almost always (not always though) look like I'm in good shape, like when I flex my stomach I can see abs decently. But as the day goes on, my abs look worse and worse and (it pains me to say this) I eventually have a bloated looking stomach. I don't know if s is...

    Is this true?

    While most people have to stay away from foods with large amounts of fat and high calorie counts, the exact opposite is true for patients with cystic fibrosis. When somebody has this disease, their pancreas does not work the way it should. The body does not absorb enough glucose from the blood...
