: : : I have two children. Both girls ages 3 & 5. My 5 year old is going to have a sweat test Oct. 25. She is a small child for almost six. Only about 35 lbs., but I am also a petite woman. She has seen a uronologist since 6 weeks of age. She was almost 2 when they finally discovered that she suffered from urinary stenosis of her urethrea. We started seeing a gi specialist in January for chronic constipation. She has tummy aches, we are giving her Miralax for her bowels, but they are still hard as rocks, and they say her intestines are impacted. We have had problems with her bowels since she was a baby, they use to have a lot of mucus in them, that is not true now however. I am still uncertain as to why they want this sweat test for cf, as she does have a history of upper respitory infections, but has never had pneumonia or anything. Does any of this follow the traits of cf?
: : Hey, I just saw what you posted and I am guessing that you know now whether or not or not your daughter
: : has CF.. If you did find out I would love to help you in any way I can.. sorry this is probably a little late. Take care
: : and God bless.

: Our sweat test was negative, I am so relieved. Our constipation is a mystery now. So next step is Nov 7, they drop tube down her nose & try Golytely. Thanks for reply.
Hey I am so glad your test was negative that is wonderful..I hope they will soon find out what is causing her tummy problems though.Best of luck:)
