Poop Question

I was just wondering if anyone remembers what they're children's/grandchildren's/ or what not, bowel movements looked like prior to diagnosis?

I have a nephew (not related to DS w/cf) that is a year old and has had a problem with weight and intestinal problems. He was 17lbs a month ago and is now down to 15lbs. I don't think that the docs are keeping up with him as much as should be - I'm not really thinking it that it's CF, just simply to how odd it would be that both cousins that aren't related, could have CF. But he's so small and had some kind of intestinal problems after birth where he almost didn't make it due to losing so much blood from his rectum.

Sorry to ramble - hoping someone remembers the poo prior to dx? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

It looked almost foamy with pockets of orange oil. Ewwwww
I hope they find out how to help him gain weight soon.

Fluffy like cake frosting and yellowish with flecks of green. And because he was formula fed, smelled like feta cheese. Now that he's older, he'll tend to get some orange oil floating in the toilet if he doesn't get enough enzymes -- similar to the oil you get when you're cooking hamburger with tomato for casserole...
