My dad isn't in the picture, so there's no way to find out if he's a carrier :/

Thank you so much this gives me somewhere to start I appreciate your help and I will get started on this as soon as possible. Thank you!

Though as I've learned about the symptoms, I definitely see them in my mom, but she has it milder than most people it seems

My mom is not currently being treated. When she was diagnosed, she had no idea what it was and didn't look into it. She felt okay for the most part, but she knew it caused "the extra phlegm." I didn't even know until I got sick, almost two years ago, when she mentioned that maybe I had it too...

So my family doctor diagnosed my mom with gastric reflux several years ago. When she was pregnant with my younger brother, she found out she had CF. Now he's telling me I have gastric reflux. He won't schedule a sweat test, maybe I'm just overreacting? Can gastric reflux be in any way related to...

Thanks for all of your replies, I'm glad you guys see it as a reasonable concern. Hopefully I can get a new doctor soon, but IEHP doesn't make it easy at all. I appreciate your help :)

My cough is usually productive and sometimes I choke up phlegm. I was just curious because I've heard of people with CF who are like...

Hi there! Well, I am still in the process of getting a diagnosis, but CF is suggested repeatedly by different doctors. My mom has it. But I was curious as to whether you could have CF and not be thin. I'm short, I guess, but in no way thin. And that is like a big symptom, right? Idk I'm just...

So about a year ago I started having shortness of breath and chest pain. I know that's nothing to worry about by itself. Around the same time I started having digestive issues (severe constipation). About six months later I developed a persistent cough that hasn't left, and just a week ago the...
