    Dental problems caused by cf?

    D: guess I'm in for some teeth issues later on down the road... I think nearly all of us have antibiotic stains.... and I SWEAR after my last round of IVs (can't remember the 2 new drugs it was) within a week of stopping my teeth turned BROWN in places. Of course my pharmacist sister said that...

    Bloating

    What kind of probiotics are people taking? Would regular yogurt be sufficient? After all, all yogurt has live cultures... I've only ever taken the "fancy" stuff (a.k.a specifically labeled for probiotic nuts) while on PICCs because of the insane amounts of antibiotics (do NOT want a UTI....)

    Vest

    No. I thoroughly regret having the vest(s). I saw no added benefit (nothing that a little soccer practice wouldn't take care of) when I was younger, or in recent hospital stays (plus compliance was a pain). For me, running around cardio will always, always trump the vest and it's easier to stick...

    Green Smoothies

    My fav: 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (brings it to a whole new level) 1/2 banana a bunch of spinach 1 scoop protein powder cinnamon after you've had a lot of these you'll be able to scale down on the fruit and up the veggies, so mine are verry veggie-friendly at this point. Also, it's nice to...

    High Calorie Snacks

    Though I'm on the complete opposite end of needing extra calories, my suggestion would be to NOT indulge in the high, empty ones (you know, sugary stuff, like Nutella or cookies). Sure, it's got a lot of calories etc, but no nutrition. Try things like nuts and nut butters (celery and PB tastes...
