Hello. I would post this in the Adults section, you will get more replies. It is not possible to get CF if only one parent is a carrier -- Your daughter would have gotten one of the identified genes from you and the other identified gene from her father. He may not have gotten the full panel to...

Nope! You aren't alone in this front. Almost all CFer's fight with their weight, and peoples perception of it. One woman on this list was called into by her boss because a coworker had heard her coughing in the bathroom and thought she was throwing up her food and was an anorexic. We all battle...

Just FYI for everyone, celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an intolerance to wheat/gluten in the small intestines that causes the villi (nutrient absorbing part of the GI system) to stunt and flatten, making them unable to absorb the nutrients of food. The blood test for celiac is around 85%...

When I use the full vest, I can't stand anything above pressure 1. I can do pressure 2 on the "chest" vest, but otherwise, 1 squishes me enough. I don't wear the full too often cause it beats the crap out of my kidney area and I get really sore. the chest vest is enough to keep me managed for...

Taste of sputum is a big indicator for me. And my boyfriend swears that he can tell when i'm getting sick by the change in my the way my breath smells. He also knows when i skip my pills... cause he can smell that too. It's really funny to me. I always get a metalic taste with staph, and a...

I haven't gone swimming in a long time -- but I do know that chlorine, bleach, and house hold products in general, irritate the crap out of my lungs and I can kind of feel like a layer of mucus just building up in some sort of responce. Either protective or defensive, I notice it. When I did...

when kids ask, I tell them I get sick from the air. it's the easiest explanation. They are asking of course, because I wear a face mask and so it's obvious that there is something different about me. To adults when they ask at work, I tell them I have a genetic lung disease called CF, and it...
