    Scared my son may have CF

    I would also ask the pediatrician for the referal asap. Make sure it is an accredited CF center (the ones in your area can be found on the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation website) to make sure the test is done correctly. I'm sorry you are having to go through this too, but should it come back as...

    Gallbladder Surgery Followup Appt

    As long as I take it with food (and I think I'm not supposed to take it with my vitamin, which I don't, but it's been so long I forget why I don't take it with my vitamins, lol), I don't have any issues. It can cause a bit of stomach irritation (at least for me, but I have a sensitive stomach...

    CFRD
