<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear List members, It is with a heavy heart I tell you this and ask for your advice. My 11 year old daughter has always been a sufferer of asthma. Recently she ended up in ICU because it was so bad. An intern on the ward recommended a "sweat test" be done to determine if she may have cystic fibrosis. Well, she tested positive - scoring 100 when the norm is 50. There is a small possibility that she may have both celiac and CF but that is even more uncommon than both the diseases. The symptoms for CF are much like those of celiac only they include the lung problems (ie asthma). Needless to say, we realize now that this was a test that should have been performed early into the testing when celiac was thought of -- but we are not the doctors here, are we? This is not something I've ever spoted on our mailing list, just wanted some input to see if there was anyone else out there with a similar situation or what you thought. Mary, MD
