Glad to answer questions!

Part 1 and Part 2 linked at the beginning along with this post pretty much take care of the first two questions in more detail than is cool to put in a comment. I'm a responsible, compliant 31 yr old. If it could be avoided, I'd be the one to do it.

For #3, I've never heard of anyone without MI having a blockage. They just get the runs if they don't take their enzymes. This is directly related due to the scarring. They say in radiology that if someone without a history comes in with a complete bowel obstruction, it usually leads to surgery to repair, but mine is due to a surgery and can be cleared… if they only do what I ask.

I read last week that only 10% of CFers have MI. I thought it was much higher than that. I'm also finding a lot more people who aren't on enzymes than I would have ever believed – but CF is that varied.

A couple of questions for you: 1.) is there really anyway to prevent this?? 2.) What causes this to happen – esp. if you've been so conscience of what you're eating? 3.) do you think you have more GI issues because you had MI? Or, do you think your CF is particularly GI-intense beginning from birth?
