They lose a lot of their food if their enzyme intake isn't quite right. Also, when you breathe faster and harder, you expend more calories. Thus, you need to eat more.
Not everyone has large appetites, though. I still have to force myself to eat, even though I've been doing it since I was thirteen. It has gotten a lot easier to eat so much since then, but I usually don't feel any hunger at all. =-) maybe my stomach is broken or something, I don't know. Does anyone else have that problem?
i have the hugest appetite in the world!! i have to take enzymes but i dont find it too hard to put on weight. i know of lots of people with cf who have to be forced to eat though so i think its different with everyone.
My daughter's appetite is closely tied to how well her lung infections are being treated. Right after an IV tune-up, she eats like a horse. As her lungs decline, so does her appetite.

i have that same problem. i used to weigh 115 lbs a few years ago and now i weigh 90. over the past couple of years my health has declined and my appetite is non-existent. most of the time i have to force feed myself and as i chew i just wanna spit it out and most of the time i do. for a few weeks i was living off scandi shakes it was the only thing i could get down easily. lately ive had a better appetite but still not the one i used to have although i wish i did. i now am going to get a g-tube to help with the weight and they say it can aslo boost your appetite so hopefully it will help!
