Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 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) _________________________________________________________________ Concerned that messages may bounce because your Hotmail account is over limit?
