Maybe: Best to be sure your dose of enzymes is adequate. Please see your CF doctor or CF center for an evaluation of your stool.

One likely reason: Fat malabsorption may result in this symptom. Your physician can adjust your pancreatic enzymes and make dietary recommendations. In addition, keeping well hydrated is important.
