Bulky Stools

[dlo2977]

The biopsies will not diagnose CF. They are diagnostic for Celiac Disease and some other GI disorders. The only way to definitely diagnose CF is through genetic testing (blood test). Have you had the blood test done or just a sweat test?

I also wanted to add that baby poop (especially breastfed) is going to be liquidy and can vary in color but is usually a shade of yellow. I think it is hard to evaluate the stool at that age unless you are seeing oil in it.

She had the most common (I think 100 or so) mutations test. It came back negative. Her 1st sweat test was borderline 44, her second was negative 10...yet we are still confused with some of her symptoms & some of the things she has had in the past. MRSA, 3 bouts with pneumonia, prolonged jaundice (lasted almost 2 months & peaked at 15), severe acid reflux (did a Nissen & placed a g-tube), odd bm's...we were told by a CF certified Pulmonologist that he is certain she does not have cf(based on the initial mutations test & he discredits the 1st sweat test b/c it was not performed at his clinic/hospital), therefore he won't run the full panel unless there is nothing found when they do an endoscopy & a bronchoscopy...but my heart tells me otherwise...the not knowing is the hardest part of all.

Thank you for your advice, we are going to look into a fecal fat test.
