Losing weight due to MAC

I have been free of MAC for 10 years, due to daily nebulizing and postural drainage. I continue to manage asthma and bronchiectasis. When I started to lose weight, I was happy since I'm overweight, but it went too fast. I tried pancreatic enzymes and stopped losing. I take a supplement with every meal.
This may not help anyone else, but it won't hurt. My Gastro doc says keep doing what works. Same with the pulmonologist. Now I have to use intermittent fasting and Keto diet to lose any weight at all.

That is so wonderful that you are free of MAC for 10 years, May you please share what % do you nebulize and what position do you use for postural drainage? Do you cough and produce mucus every day?

Hi Dgayle
Did you take the antibiotics?
