My 9 month old has started to not want to take his enzymes. It seems no matter what kind of food I put it on or how hungry he is he doesn't want to take them. I have to basically force him to open his mouth so I can get them in annd then try to get his bottle in so he will swallow them down...

It's been awhile so I figured I should give an update. Our 7 month old was in the hospital last month for 5 days to have an NG-tube put in because he had failure to thrive and couldn't seem to get enough calories in. He is gaining weight now and we have found that the only way he seems to get...

So we went for a weight check again on Monday and our son's weight was supposedly 11lb 6oz which would mean that in a week in a half he lost 2 oz. They also said he was 23 3/4 in when a week and a half ago they told us 24 1/2 which would mean he shrunk by 3/4 of an in. At the visit week and a...

So our son had a Dr. vis it on Thursday which went ok but coud ahve been better. He gained weight but only about 8oz in 2 weeks so they were not overy happy with that, we have to go for a weight check in 2 weeks. The Dr. said his lungs sounded very good and unless his throat cuture grows...

I am wondering how much salt my son should be getting? He's only almost four months old and they told us to divide 1/8 teaspoon between the bottles for the day. I asked the clinic when the amount of salt goes up and they said 6-12months of age, of course this was the dietician who I've already...

So we walked in the Great Strides walk yesterday and a good amount of money was raised, over $385,000. Anyways I have decided that I want to become more involved in all the CF stuff other than just caring for my son with CF. I want to do things to help with all aspects of fundraising, awareness...

So my son wasn't really gainig enough weight and he was upped to a 30 calorie formula recipe.Well we've been making that and I starting adding a tiny bit of Activa yogurt to the formula as was recommended by the Dr. I also started giving him cereal with his meds that he gets twice a day and i...

My 3 month old has started having problems swallowing his enzymes. He is on 2 Creon-5 with each feed which I put on a bit of applesauce. He has started sort of choking on them, he gags and sounds like he's going to throw up. I started adding juice to the applesauce to thin it to see if that...

Well so we had our visit yesterday.Our son weighed 9lb 11oz according to the office scale, which is what he weighed last time butthey weren't as concerned,what? They have been pressing for him to gain and now they aren't as concerned,they say he still needs to gain weight but at least other...

We have a Dr. visit tommorrow at our clinic and I'm a bit uneasy.We went to WIC today and when they weighed my sonhe weighed 10lb 1oz and he's 3 months old, I'm not sure how that rates on the growth chart but when we went to the CF clinic about 2 weeks ago he weighed 9lb 11oz so that would mean...

I have a random question about enzymes.My son is still on formula so it's kind of irrelevant right now but my husband and I were chatting last night and wondering about enzymes. We know that they have to be taken before meals and snacks but we were wondering about before having liquids that...

Well my son is still vomiting at least once a day so the blockage they cleared in the hospital was not the issue. He is still gaining weight even though he's vomiting. The Dr. has decided to do the upper GI test that they were going to do last time but changed their minds, it'll will be done at...

Ok so for anyone who has read or maybe not read my other posts my 8 week old son had been vomiting for a few weeks and when we saw the Dr. last week he upped all the meds and the enzymes. Well the vomiting didn't get better in fact it got worse, on Saturday he threw up 4 times. On Sunday he...

We have just moved to OH from MI and are in the Dayton area. Our son is seen at Children's in Dayton. I am wondering if there is anyone in the Dayton area as I feel I need someone close to share the CF experience with. I find this website very helpful and will continue to use it but I wondered...

The Dr. called today and they suggest that our 7 week son go for an upper GI test due to his vomiting. I know that this test has something to do with the gastrointestinal system but I don't know any more than that. Has anyone else had this test and can tell me more about what it is and what I...
