Not diagnosed or been to the doctor, just need advice

[CFtori]

I want to add that I do encourage to get that test. Jen, (I'm not sure if you were talking to me hahaha) but I said usually people with CF have green or yellow mucus. It's rarely clear if you're sick because (I might be wrong) green mucus means infection and yellow mucus means inflammation. But 20 is definitely not too late to be diagnosed so that's not an issue. I was diagnosed when I was 7. If you have pancreas problems your stool would be very very oily and fatty diarrhea. I have awful constipation issues. I'm on mirilax 3 times a day. So I'm trying to say that constipation would not be a symptom but diarrhea would because of not digesting food. This was the case for me. After I got diagnosed and was put on enzymes I didn't have diarrhea anymore but I developed 24 hr constipation.

Anyway, I was definitely not trying to be rude in any way. I wish you all the luck you can get and I hope you don't have CF. Just get some answers <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

My daughter was tested because of chronic constipation. She had 28 inches of colon removed because of it to try to help. She is failure to thrive. The constipation with ftt started the testing for us, so i guess our story is different. Once she started enzymes she went from 5 squares of exlax per day to 2.5 squares per day. Miralax doesn't work for us. Good luck.

My daughter was tested because of chronic constipation and ftt. I guess in some people chronic constipation can be a symptom. She had 28 inches of colon removed and still battled constipation until she started enzymes. Once she started enzymes she went from 5 squares of exlax per day to 2.5 squares per day. Miralax was not enough for her. Good luck.
