Undiagnosed, but worried.

agreed - even if the sweat test is negative, it cannot rule out CF. If he is still having problems, I would really push for the Ambry Amplified genetic test -- it tests for the largest # of mutations and is MUCH more accurate.

As for tasting salt, some you can, and others you can't. People on here have had negative sweat tests, but still have CF. Mine sweat tests were negative and borderline, but genetic tests revealed I DO have CF. As stated above, it really presents differently in each individual.

Best of luck, and hope you get some difinitive answers soon <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">
