Many people with cystic fibrosis report gastrointestinal discomfort as a daily challenge and barrier to optimal quality of life. In this podcast, Emily Yelencich, MS, RD, provides an overview of the key differences within the microbiome of people with CF compared to the general population, and how those differences result in increased difficulties with digestion, reduced absorption of nutrients, lower lung function, and higher rates of colorectal cancer. Yelencich rounds out the conversation with useful diet, nutrition, and bowel regimen tips that can help inform conversations with one’s CF care team.
