    Negative sweat chloride, cf still possible?

    Ddawson, that is super helpful information. I think I might need to push on the genetic testing for him then. If he ends up in the hospital one more time, his pediatrician agreed that we should send him somewhere where they deal with more rare diagnosis and stuff. Kristan that article is sooo...

    Negative sweat chloride, cf still possible?

    Wow, this is super interesting. He had genetic testing for cf after much pushing but I didn’t get him genetically tested for pcd. Maybe I should continue to push for that as well, if we don’t get answers with some Labs I’m waiting on. He does have reflux, but does not aspirate. He has the...

    Negative sweat chloride, cf still possible?

    Thank you for all the information! Hopefully they will do a biopsy when they do his bronchoscopy on Friday so we can figure it all out. I’ll let you know if they figure it out though. He also has the genetic testing for Cf done the same day. I also just discovered today that he has no...

    Thanks for the input. Did you have the full ambry panel workup? The pulmonoligist agreed it’d be a good idea just to rule it out since we are running out of ideas.

    I have never heard of this, but I will definitely look into it. My son just saw his pulmonologist yesterday and he ordered a bronchoscopy for next Friday and he gave the okay for genetics to do cf testing and immunology is doing a blood work up as well. Do you know how it’s diagnosed and what...

    I have been checking out his stools much more recently because I don’t really Know what people mean by oily and greasy, but he has lots of stools that are more on the slimy side that when he wore diapers, would soak into the diapers quite a bit, but I’m not sure if that’s what you mean.

    Negative sweat chloride, cf still possible?

    I do understand that is significantly low, but I have read about families with negative sweat chloride who still ended up with positive genetic testing, even if considered a mild form. I would love to at least rule it out because it is one of the only few things that makes sense with all he has...

    Negative sweat chloride, cf still possible?

    He got 19 and 11, it was done at the children’s hospital lab, so I’m not sure? He was 2 when it was done. They have been bulky, but he also goes through periods of diarrhea. He rarely has normal healthy stools. I’m honestly not sure if he was tested as a newborn? I should mention, he did not get...
