Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary disease caused by a defective gene that leads to the production of thick mucus, affecting the lungs and pancreas. While there is no cure, advancements in treatment have improved life expectancy, with many living past 40 years. Dietary management for CF includes high-calorie, high-fat foods to maintain weight and energy, while avoiding low-fat options, caffeine, alcohol, and sugary drinks.
