Did you recently start Trikafta or another modulator drug? 

Have you started to suddenly gain weight and don’t know what to do?

So many people starting Triakfta describe it as “learning a whole new body.”  Suddenly the high fat high calorie “CF diet” isn’t beneficial anymore.  And it can be bewildering to feel like your body is a stranger (new digestion, new internal cues) while try to learn how to shift eating habits. 

What is a healthy CF diet anyway? I can help you.  

CF teams and patients alike have been struggling to catch up with the changes this medication causes. I’ve been working in CF for five years with hundreds of patients, witnessed this shift, wrestled with how to approach nutrition differently and done extensive research in this area. A lot of CF dietitians only know how to pack calories or prescribe diets, but there is another way!

There isn’t a diet that will “fix” the changes after Trikafta, but you can find relief in understanding the shift your body has made.  When you tune in, you CAN understand this new body: your body cues, healthy nutrition, body image, navigating social norms and more.
