Dear Linamir,
Please don't fret yet. With CF, there are so many symptoms that are wrong that you would KNOW in your heart your baby has it. These are some of the symptoms listed below.
**Belly distention (looks like pregnant with small upper frame chest).
**Skin smells and taste irony and or like bowel back up. Your baby would be screaming with pain after eating, almost turning blue from the pain.
**Bowel movements would be greasy orange, to yellowish frothy color. Most of time, without digestive enzymes your baby could not have a bowel movement on his/her own.
**Severe weightloss, looking frail and thin.
**Very apnea breathing or abnormal breathing patterns.
It goes on and on.....but...to be on the safe side because there are different mutations of CF and different symptoms can arise, you can get your baby tested for a litte over 100.00, covered by insurance if you have it.
Hope this has helped you some.
