    Himalayan Salt Inhaler

    I have used that. We actually built a salt room in my house for my son. We definitely believe in salt therapy!

    Probiotic

    Yep! My son takes Culterelle, sustenex, and florastor. Kinda found out how helpful they were to cf by accident. My son's stool turned completely normal after getting it right. There was actually a study done on the one that is in culterelle and CF. It was shown to result in less inflammation...

    Flu mist

    Hyptertoni Saline

    I agree with Harriett about the bronchospasm. Every kid is different, but that could be a problem. My son started nebbing 7% at about 1 1/2 yrs old. For about a week he would have a small amount of blood tinged mucus, but he never complained and is fine now. That reaction you are getting sounds...

    Life Insurance

    Harriett is right. We had a policy on my son right after he was born. Paperwork in hand. After he was diagnosed (6 days old), my stepmother in law applied and disclosed his CF. They denied her and canceled his policy! We currently have a small policy through my husband's work, but that is all we...

    Probiotics

    My son is 2. We use Culterelle, Sustenex, and Florastor. We started adding Florastor after he started augmentin and we noticed the stool odor diasappeared. Then, on the last round of antibiotics, we added Sustenex. The stool is now solid and normal! My son has never had oily stools, but they...
