How sad that this girl went without treatment for a long time. I remember the 2 years my dd went eating like a horse and pooping 10 times a day I was so devastated seeing her going through this, then the rectal prolapses every time she went potty. I was going out of my mind seeing her like this and former ped. would say "she is fine, she is just a hungry baby, some babies eat and poop more than others" grrrrrrrr It makes me so mad just to remember those countless doctor appts. that I came home without answers and the sleepless nights on line trying to find answers myself I'm not surprised any more about misdiagnosis or mistakes.

I really hope that incidents like this prompt a change in how sweat tests are viewed. I'm amazed by the number of people who are told "all clear' from a sweat test -- when it doesn't seem like they are all that capable of using them to rule out CF.

Our local clinic still considers them to be "the gold standard" and there are several people I suspect may actually have CF yet were told they were fine.
