My wife and I found out we were carriers of CF early in the pregnancy. Our son is now 4 weeks old and he has had some GI issues with bad gas and pretty disturbing looking stool. He is also having some issues keeping weigh on and the doctor wants us to supplement with formula but we refuses to take the milk when put the formula in. We are all assuming he has CF since both his newborn screenings came back positive but are still waiting on the sweat test (he's too small for it now).
My question is, will the enzymes help him with his GI issues? Do you generally see an immediate positive reaction from them (not pooping after pretty much every feeding/less gas problems)? Will he be able to start putting weight on?
Apparently he will be the only person in world known to have this combination of mutations so there is no information to go off of in terms of predictions based on others so I was just hoping to get some answers regarding how the whole enzyme supplementation works. Thanks!
