Hi
I wondred if anyone can help me.
When my little boy was born, he had jeunal atresia, sometimes called 'applepeel syndrome', I read that this can be associated with cf. When he had his guthrie test it came back as boarder line, so it had to be repeated a couple of weeks later, this came back as negative to cf
However I wondered if these tests can give a 'positive negative' ? if you know what I mean
Besides having the JA, when he was born he also has a slight anul prolaps, he does very large BM, which are smelly, and look greasy or have lots of mucus in them, this is not every BM, but most of them. He has an enormouse appitite but puts very little weight on, he's not under weight, and apart from a few hicups his weight is going up. He had a bout of croup abot 8 weeks ago lasted a couple of days with the really 'barking' cough, but since then hes had an awful chesty cough, bunged up nose, his cough is worse at night, I suppose this is with him lying down. The dr as seen him and says his chest is clear !!!
He doesn't taste salty, but I'm worried that the guthrie test was wrong, PLEASE I would really appriciate any advice on what to do next THANKYOU
