If two people are carriers for cystic fibrosis, what is the probability that they will have a child with cystic fibrosis?
I have Cystic Fibrosis, I have never tried marijuana/weed before and have never ever smoked anything for that matter. I’m from Germany but my friends and I are going to go to Amsterdam for a day. I know they will smoke marijuana. Could trying it once be very bad since I have very poor lung function? Or would one time not matter much?
my daughter had a positive sweat chloride test. the doctor said she has cystic fibrosis which is usually a problem with the respiratory system. it is affecting her digestive system but she has never had ANY respiratory problems. besides the digestive problems she is healthy, not to big, not to small. and she rarely gets sick. im just wondering if it will start to affect her respiratory system as well.
The moment you get a diverticulitis attack you should become extremely careful about what goes inside your body. The main reason for diverticulitis is bad eating habits. You can get well only after you stop taking the foods which are hard on your digestive system and prevent its proper functioning. There is a good list of foods to avoid with diverticulitis. If you want your health to improve then you will take the steps to avoid these harmful foods.
Generally the suggested diverticulitis diet is low fiber and liquid diet. This will ensure that your colon and digestive system get the adequate rest which helps you to heal. You can expect improvements in a few days once you start taking the correct diet. Many people become stressed in this condition and it may include you also. This won’t help you my friend, it will only make your condition worse because stress directly affects the digestive system. You need to be calm, be patient with the pain and do something which will make you happy. Doing these will have a positive affect on your health and you may improve quickly.
Anyway here is a list of foods to avoid with diverticulitis in general.
1) All the junk food such as burgers, pizzas, fried food and spicy food should be avoided.
2) Refined foods like white flour, white rice etc.
3) All the processed foods.
4) Corn and corn products.
5) Nuts
6) Sesame seeds
7) Pumpkin
You should avoid these foods because they will be hard on the digestive system. Once you are healed you may revert back to the previous food habits. You are just inviting another diverticulitis attack. In order to remain healthy you should change your eating habits.
Many people who got a diverticulitis attack changed their diet to a whole food diet to remain healthy and not to experience the painful situation again. Use the above list of foods to avoid with diverticulitis till you become healthy again. After that you can include a high fiber diet which will prevent the diverticula from getting infected.

Our son has cystic fibrosis but life insurers seem resistant to covering him. Does anyone have any recommendations on who might cover him or how to compel an insurer to cover him?
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease in humans in which chloride ion channels in cell membranes are missing or nonfunctional.
1) incorrect concentrations of ions in semen
2) failure to form genital structures appropriately
3) inability to make sperm
4) incomplete maturation of the testes
5) abnormal pH in seminal fluid
Part of this question includes that the thick mucus produced by cystic fibrosis sometimes blocks the pancreatic duct that allows pancreatic juice to enter the small intestine.
Living with Cystic Fibrosis.
My grandmother has IPF. I am now 4 weeks pregnant and reading that is ideal to have a CVS test done if someone in your family has cystic fibrosis. Is IPF a reason to have a CVS/ amniocentesis done? Is it the same disease?
