Help! My grandson Charlie, born 2/1/08 has come back with viral markers for CF. He will have a sweat test on 3/3....and I have told mom and dad to get genetic testing done too. Can anyone tell me early signs of CF? He is breastfed and nurses every 2 hrs....he seems to have alot of gas, and cries before he has a bm. His stools are orange in color and has small amount of mucus in it....I have no idea of what a "greesy stool" looks like. He does not have a salty taste, but his skin does seem very dry....his tummy even flakes dispite using baby lotion. I am so scared, and want to find out as much as I can. I have a thousand questions, and have no where to turn it seems.</end quote></div>
Cindy402,
I have a newborn that was diagnosed at 7 days old. Here is what I noticed before she was put on enzymes:
She had alot of gas.
She cried alot because her tummy hurt when she needed to poop.
She pooped often.
Her stools had a small amount of mucus in it.
She was very hungry.
