    Stomach distension

    Here are the two things that helped mine. No I am not joking: 1. I changed to NO glueten! If I eat it my belly blows up. 2. I started Yoga _ I always exercised but yoga did something to reduce this.

    Completely agree. What can we do to help get the ball rolling?

    Should Cystic Fibrosis be declared a disability?

    CF already IS a disability. The title of your post is inaccurate. I think you are asking if we should lobby for more attention to qualify for federal help and the answer is YES! I am the oldest CFer in my state, I have been told. I worry what will happen to me if I can't work anymore.

This drug does a serious number on the joints and you can end up with severe joint problems. I needed a knee...

    gastrointestinal clean out?

    If the prune juice has artificial (chemical) sweeteners it can make you throw up. Make sure you are drinking pure prune juice - found in the health food aisle - not commercial prune juice. Have you tried orange flavor gritless metamucil daily? It is natural and keeps one regular. It is not an...

    gastrointestinal clean out?

    It is a CHEMICAL. It is NOT natural. Yes it is used for jet fuel (arsenic IS natural, coming from a mineral(s) - replying to a previous post by another person). Do you want a chemical in your body or a natural substance? Miralax is: A white powder for reconstitution. MiraLax (polyethylene...
