She has never had allergy testing. Just the IGe level drawn once a year which has been fine so far. I may ask about allergy testing at her next appointment. I do think she just has some mucus she is having trouble getting rid of. I have adjusted her airway clearance a bit; really working to...

Hi there, My daughter is extremely pancreatic insufficient. She has always needed to be on high dose enzymes with anything she eats that has protein, fat, carbs, except simple sugars like jello fruit, vegetables. I consider Boost equivalent to a small meal. Maybe you should check with your...
