I know a girl who is 17 her little brother was diagnosed with CF but he is only her half brother and as such has another mom. She ahs never been tested for CF. This girl has had a very slight, soft cough most of her life. It's not very frequent but it comes and goes... no hacking just a soft cough. Although at one point in her life she ended up coughing up blood. She rarely gets sick and is in great physical condition. Also somtime she has trouble passing her stools and will take laxitives. She has a ton of energy and does not get tired easily or have much trouble breathing, though. Is there any chance she does not have CF and if she does is this just a very mild case?

Well, there are tests that she needs to take (or her parents could take them, but its better if she take them) Theres the gene test, to see if she has the CF Gene, which she can still ahve and jsut be a carrier of the gene from her father. There is also the blood and sweat tests that she would need to take to see if she has full blown CF. By the sound of it, I dont think she has the full blown thing
