Any ideas?
My son has struggled so hard with weight. He is 5'5, and weighs 76 pounds. He is pancreatic insufficent, enzymes are not the issue. He is allergic to gluten, milk, dairy, soy, and rice. Plus he has autism and because of textures and tastes he will only willingly eat 7 foods. He does have a g tube receiving 10-12 hrs feeds a day. Still everytime we gain a few, he ends up loosing them. He tends to hover between 75-77 pounds.

Going to the doctor for a sweat test rcmndtn.
Im going to the doctor this week to try and get a recommendation for a cf sweat test. Im worried they may think Im crazy, but I'm so frustrated that I dont know what else to do. Since a child I have been getting sinus infections and bronchitis frequently. My doctor diagnosed me with asthma and put me on antibiotics and that worked for a while. I'm now 22 years old (female) and have started going downhill since 16. I know cystic fibrosis is usually diagnosed as a child but i was not tested at birth and I have read that some milder mutations do not.become severe until later in life. Anyway at 16 I started having severe pain ...

Hi I am also new to this site. I am a mom of a 16 yr old daughter. She has ddf508, mostly weight issues. She is 5'2, 94 lbs. She has a g tube and takes 2-3k calories at night. She also does hyper tonic, pulmozyme, albuterol and the vest. Her dr says she has very mild chrons, but she never has any symptoms and hasn't taken the pentasa for a while. She has maintained her weight and height and fev of 72-4 for the past yr without any hospitalizations. They want her to be at 100lbs. I feel like her GI dr always wants to do unnessecary tests. Now he is saying her lack of weigh...
