- bdcravens 7y agoMany have weight gain. Those with CFRD (CF related diabetes) may produce more insulin naturally; both of these are due to less blockage of the pancreas, though the scarring of the pancreas (where cystic fibrosis gets its name) can’t reverse. Some women may have increased fertility (again due to less blockage) I’ve gained weight in the month I’ve taken it (though just before that I lost 5-10 lbs due to an infection; so hard to say if I’m just returning to baseline). I do feel like my appetite has improved.
