gastro problems..Any ideas?

[Guest guest]

Hi. My 2 1/2 year old son with CF has had continual

gastro problems since birth. He is on Pancrease MT 10

regularly along with Myralax powder for, " Back Up, "

problems. He has had 3 clean outs by NG in the past

year. Although his weight has been fair, his height

has been 0-5%. His stomach is continually extended. He

looks like a little piglet from winnie the pooh! He

eats well. My problem is that he continually complains

of tummy aches. I have told the gastro doc. He had a

belly scan and is not backed up. He is still extended

though. The doctor was going to try Flagil?? but Jonah

had a reaction of vommitting since he is also on sipro

for reoccurring sinus probs. Can anyone tell me more

about CF gastro problems? Is this typical? Could it be

something else? Sometimes I get so frustrated with

doctors! Now we have to wait 20 more days until he is

off the cipro to try the other antibiotic(Flagil?).

Meanwhile.....?????

Thanks,

Michele mom of 3 Jonah with CF
