Harriett is dead on with the statement that CF is a "spectrum disease" -- there are HUGE variations in severity and age of onset for symptoms. That said, "atypical" is usually used to distinguish from "classic" CF. The biggest factors in a doctor's decision to label someone "atypical" seem to...

The lack of FDA approval for other brands has to do with a labeling issue, not a safety or efficacy issue. Basically the enzymes are a little "overstuffed", so the FDA is requiring them to relabel (ex: Creon 20 went to 24, as Harriett noted above). Other enzyme brands will likely be going...

Jess, If you think you may have high CO2, call your doctor. I know it's a hassle and embarrassing sometimes if nothing turns out to be wrong, but no CF doc should ever be annoyed at a patient for calling about something like that. Really the only way to tell about CO2 is an ABG test (yuck, I...
