I have a six-year old son with Cystic Fibrosis. He was thought to have CF in my womb (meconium ilieus). He was officially diagnosed at 6 weeks of age. My son is currently experiencing a tremendous amount of gas which is very foul smelling. The doctors say it is malabsorption. He is also having frequent episodes of diahrrea. He is going to have an upper GI done during Spring Break next week. They are thinking it may be "short gut syndrome." He had a large amount of intestine removed when he was a baby. They are also checking stool samples for bacteria and fecal fat. We are praying that the malabsorption can be corrected without surgery. He takes Creon 10 enzymes for snacks and meals with fat or protein. We already tried increasing the amount of enzymes, nothing changed. He is also on Zantac to reduce the acid in his stomach, which allows the enzymes to work better. Lactose intolerance is not a possibilty, because it also occurs without Lactose products. Is there anyone out there that can suggest something to reduce the amount of gas expelled, or to decrease the odor? Kids around him at school are starting to say "Who cut the cheese?" They don't suspect that it is him, but he knows. Any ideas?
