Enzymes
Each school has its own policy for administering enzymes to students, so it’s important to determine your school's medication delivery rules. A special form signed by a doctor is usually required to allow you to take enzymes before lunch.  You may need to leave class a few minutes early to allow enough time to eat lunch.

Extra Portions/Snacks
Teens who buy lunch at school may not receive adequate portion sizes and may need an extra snack to meet their calorie goals. It is often possible to get extra portions and snacks by talking to the school administration. Your CF team can write a prescription requesting extra portions or snacks, if needed.

Bathroom Breaks
Teens with CF may need additional bathroom breaks, especially if their malabsorption is not well controlled. Alerting the teacher of this possibility at the beginning of the school year may help avoid any embarrassing moments.
