Tube Feeding and Cystic Fibrosis

Gaining weight is often a significant problem for people with cystic fibrosis. Tube feeding through a Gastrostomy tube (G-tube) or nasogastric (NG) tube are two ways to increase food intake without having to eat or drink more.

These videos from Children's Memorial Hospital provide excellent information about CF nutritional challenges, tube feeding and related topics. It also includes lots of discussion from CF adults, parents, teens and kids about their experiences.

You can also find out more about tubefeeding from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
