Is it true that eating dairy products can cause mucus to build up more in CFers?

Thanx 4 that. That's what I wanted 2 hear. My daughter absolutely loves cheese and milk and cream.

Have a good day.

Just correcting-

It's not neccesarily a myth. It's usually fine for people to drink it. But some can be lactose intolerant. And my cf docs have always told me to refrain from drinking milk when I have an upper respiratory exacerbation.

When I don't have an infection I drink milk every day for the calcium and vit d. Its a very digestible way of getting vitamins. And I love dairy too. Good source of good calories too.

Just ask your doctor b/c I've often heard to refrain from dairy when there's exacerbation.
