    Does water really help loosen mucous? Other ways to get rid of it?

    So I never drink water, well, rarely. I hate water, I hate the taste of it. I do drink a lot of liquids in general like Hawaiin Punch or milk, but rarely do I drink just water. If I were to drink, like, 2 bottles of water a day would I notice a difference in being able to get the mucous out (I...

    Would this be a good weight gainer?

    Would this be a good supplement for me to use? I cannot call my doctor and ask so I thought asking on here would be second best. This product is also highly reviewed too.

    I used an E Cig today, I'm a bit worried

    he doesn't really understand CF and if his parents found out he would get those taken away and be in big trouble. He didnt pressure me. I'm not near a transplant. How long does it take to get out of the blood?

    I used an E Cig today, I'm a bit worried

    i wouldn't use it much, and you can't get addicted if you don't use it for several days cause it takes days for you to become addicted. Even if I was addicted to it, I would have to quit that addiction pretty quick cause I would have no way of getting nicotine. And it's not like I'd want to get...

    I used an E Cig today, I'm a bit worried

    AlLight, so my friend is trying to quit normal cigs, so to help him his parents got him some e cigs with different flavors. He said I should try it, and I thought why not. It's just nicotine and water vapor with some flavoring. And I kinda liked it, throughout the day, I was using it here and...

    If my stools are good, does that mean I'm digesting all of my food?

    So my stools have been incredibly good lately (hope I'm not grossing Anyone out lol) but the weird part is, is I haven't really been taking my pill all that much. Like yesterday I had a bunch of cereal and milk with no pills, and the only time I did take them was for dinner, where I had an 10...

    So here's a recent pic of what I look like after an intense workout and exhaling all the air in my lungs and not eating for 3 hours. What can I do to look like that everytime? Like, everyday after not eating for a few hours. Most typically, my gut hangs out yet when I lay down my rib cage is...

    I'm a little confused with what happens when I don't take my pills

    Alright. So say I eat 2,000 calories today and had my enzyme each time I ate, yet I don't want to go over that 2000 calorie limit, if I were to have a big bowl of 900 cal pudding WITHOUT my enzymes. Would I still have eaten 2000 calories? Or would I still have had/absorbed those calories from...

    If I were to do a high protein/fat crash diet, would that be ok?

    So I wanted to know. Would it be ok if I did the Rapid Fat Loss diet by Lyle McDonald? It's a high protein diet that burns a lot of fat while burns as little muscle as possible (it burns very little, if any muscle). It's a diet where I'm supposed to eat around 1200 calories, but considering I...

    How long do you have to eat after taking pills? Do you have to eat within 5 mins?

    Do you have to have something in your stomach at least within 5 mins of taking them? I'm not talking about you only have 5 minutes, but I mean you should have something in your stomach within 5 mins? Also, what happens if you take your pills yet you don't eat enough? So if I took 3 pills and my...

    Do I need to take a pill (enzyme) to have a protein drink?

    This is not a shake, but drink. It is the G Series Post Game Protein Recovery Beverage (3) Mixed Berry. To me, it tastes like any other Gatorade drink except with 16 grams of protein per drink. The ingredients are: Water, sucrose, hydrolyzed whey protein (milk), hydrolyzed collagen, dextrose...

    How do YOU clean your nebulizer?

    The drs told me just hot water (really hot). I'm kinda confused, cause I always thought that vinegar would be stronger. But they said to stop using vinegar cause it has gotten stronger (the cf virus or whatever). Do I have to clean my nebulizer after every use or can I just let it dry after I...

    Are sports okay?

    They're encouraged. Its awesome you're looking out for your friend, I know he will appreciate it:) But there still are so limitations, like he may get tired a lot faster than most other people, try to push him not to your limit but to his. For me, my limit is a lot shorter than most other kids...
