Possibility to prevent meconium ileus while pregnant

Wanted to share this information for those expecting with CF prenatal diagnosis or possibility. It explains a theory and some research that DHA and GSH may help prevent meconium ileus. Obviously not conclusive but DHA is pretty common and you can get scripted prenatal vitmins that have a DHA pill with each vitamin. I was on the vitamin/DHA prescription for probably six months before conceiving and throughout pregnancy and personally think it might have prevent DS from having meconium ileus given that he had DIOS before age 2 (which is basically meconium ileus after birth), and has always had extensive GI issues.
