The doc called me last night and told me the last throat culture grayson grew Staph which she did before and also grew a gut flora bacteria. He said it normal if found in the gut but they found it in her throat. He thought she may have refluxed and inhaled the bacteria. That same day we went to her GI doc. We were talking about reflux and gi issues and i told her she was having lots of gas. She thought she had a bacteria in her gut and she put her on antibiotics. I thought that was a good catch from her GI doc. Luckily the antibiotic she is taking will take care of this bacteria. But we have to do another round of Tobi. Have you or your kids grown weird stuff thats not normally found in the lungs?

Our son cultures a 'gram negative rod' that has been characterized as gut flora as part of his typical culture (which also includes staph). I hadn't thought about him contracting it via reflux, but I suppose it's a possibility. Our CF team is generally unconcerned with it - though they always mention when we start abx that it will knock that out as well.
Did she culture PA as well or are they prescribing TOBI for something else?

She also cultured Staph which she has done before. In the past she did culture PA. The docs concern was since she is showing signs of bacteria growth and her history they wanted to treat this with inhaled Tobi. At the time of our last appt. Grayson had lots of junky cough and snotty nose. They are just wanting to do 2 weeks on Tobi. We go back for check up and another throat culture in 2 weeks.
