    Clendomyacin

    My daughter is taking 10ml of Cleocin 3x daily. This is causing vomiting & diahrea. I have had her drinking Dan active with every dose she takes. She has no digestive issues so therefore she takes no enzymes. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop the reaction to the antibiotic?

    Sweat test 133

    We finally got enough sweat for a productive sweat test. It was 133--my doc says we are going to do a redo on 12/13 and see what the results are because my insurance is still on the "we dont do genetic testing because there's cheaper ways" wagon. Although I feel like I just lost all control of...
