Rectal prolapse & CF

Hi,

I have a 3 year old son with CF, diagnosed at birth (meconium ileus). He's

had infrequent rectal prolapses since about age one. He's been on enzymes

since birth & shows no signs of malabsorption (50th percentile weight &

height). The CF doc added pepcid to the daily routine about a year ago &

the prolapses seemed to decrease. We didn't see one for about six months or

so until the recent introduction of going on the potty. We've had about six

occurrences in the last 3 weeks. My son is able to tell me when he feels

the prolapse. He tries not to push hard to keep it from happening. We keep

him well hydrated & give lots of fibrous foods. Has anyone else been

through this? Our doctor has not had this issue with any other of the CF

patients. I can't help but think it's somehow related to the meconium ileus

obstruction.

Thanks,

Amy, mom to mac, 3 w/cf & owen, 1 nocf (PGD baby)
