    Hi Everyone, In reference to the recent post 'Daily Medications', I see many people have written that they use a allergy med daily. What symptoms do you have that made you require a allergy med or is it purely for a preventative measure?

    So I'm confused.....???

    So Archie has another cold which has gone to his chest. I left it about 5 days to see if he could get over it on his own but after talking to his pediatrician he is on antibiotics again.

    Rice Milk

    Sudden change in poo

    I was just wondering whether anyone has ever experienced a sudden change in their CF childs poo. Archie's poos have been really good but for the last three days they have become quite mushy, smelly and mucousy.
