What are some tips to gain weight on Trikafta

Hello everybody!
So I have a rare mutation that Trikafta wasn’t approved for, but my doctor took a chance on me and I’m so glad he did!! My health has improved so much and my PFTs are the highest they’ve ever been, Trikafta really changed my life but one thing they didn’t change was my weight… has anybody else had this experience with it? I’m not necessarily losing weight but I’m not gaining anything… any tips to help with that? I’m curious to know if it’s just me who’s struggling with weight

  1. , it's great to hear your doctor took a chance and that you're having a positive outcome. I'm glad your health has improved; that has to brighten your days. I hope other community members will chime in and share their personal experiences with you, but in the meantime, I want to share some articles that touch on weight that could be helpful. Please keep us posted on how you're doing, and remember, our community is always here for you! Sending hugs and positive vibes your way! -Beth (Team Member)
