How can dietary toxins affect cystic fibrosis patients?
Patients with CF often have malabsorption issues due to pancreatic insufficiency, making them more susceptible to the effects of dietary toxins. For instance, certain mycotoxins found in contaminated food can exacerbate nutritional deficiencies. It is crucial for CF patients to adhere to a strict diet that minimizes exposure to these toxins while ensuring adequate nutrient intake.
