Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Hi all we are moving to a new house in 2 weeks and it has gas heating thoughout the house. Is this safe with CF?? Liam has also cultured a light stap infection in his throat, is it anything to worry about, or will it just go away by itself??

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 , We have had gas heating for 4.6 years and never had any problems. We do leave the window open a tiny bit, but that's because it can get stuffy, and we like fresh air.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 , When my son was diagnosed with CF and the doctor was taking extensive notes, one of the questions he asked was how we heat our home. (We had electric heat). A couple years later when my kids were going through allergy testing, their allergy/asthma doctor asked the same question. Both doctors told us that gas builds up in the home, leaving particulates on walls, etc. so they prefer electric heat, not gas. About 2 years ago I read a recently released study showing children that live in homes with gas stoves and ovens and have asthma, tend to have more asthma episodes, especially if they're in the kitchen while cooking. So because I have asthma, when I moved to a new place 18 months ago, I specifically looked for a place that had an electric stove/oven and heated by either electric or radiator, not gas.
