    Allergies

    I get too dried out with antihistamines. I take Singulair and have had a lot of success with it. I am also on Sporanox, which takes care of the ABPA. My asthma and allergies flare up particularly at that time of the month, but when I make a point to stay well hydrated, the symptoms aren't so...

    POSSIBLE CURE?

    There's a big difference between POSSIBLE and PROBABLY. No one's going to pay for CF research if the researchers don't have an attention grabbing line like "POSSIBLE CURE." When and if that day finally comes you can find me at my newly opened popsicle stand on the outskirts of Hades.

    Creon

    I take an enzyme with sodas, though I rarely drink carbonated beverages if I can help it. The carbonic acid is tough on the stomach lining, especially if it's already being overloaded with anti-inflammatory meds. Also, I stay away from caffeine as much as possible because it really interferes...

    Advice Please

    Thanks for the advice about my hubby's situation. It's all very good info. I agree about it only needing to be a 2 weeks notice kind of thing. However, the job he's in is unusual in the fact that it's mostly a family run thing (not our family though, thank goodness!) and it's a publishing...

    I have a question about calories vs. fat calories

    Good example with the bagel and cream cheese. I'll try to explain as best I can. Cheese is mostly fat, which is something the body has difficulty absorbing. The enzyme that the body needs to break down fat is called lipase, which is one of the 3 components of the enzyme supplements CFers...
