  • I have only spoken with the dietician once, however I have listened to her advice and this has enabled me to gain 2 kg

  • After the info and help from the dietician, I was able to carry on as normal a life, as possible, knowing that I had got enough info to get everything right for now

  • Trying to put weight on is not easy as I am having to try to eat much more than I would have, balancing diet with Creon seems to be a matter of experience and fine tuning

  • Very helpful and informative and feel it should be available to all

  • Have put on weight. Critical to have input from dietician.
