Gut problems
I’m 52, was diagnosed at birth with CF. Last 1.5 years many issues with a regular blockage in left quadrant in intestines. Regularly do magnesium citrate to clean out ( about every 4 weeks). Going to try Metamucil. Lax-a-day makes me too lose that I have accident when coughing. No hospital stays for this yet. Anyone else with this problem. Have changed diet ( limit dairy and gluten.
Hi
, Have Metamucil or laxatives been helping at all? We have other community members who have experienced gut issues from CF. One of our advocates wrote about CF belly which I'll share below in case you're interested in reading it.

I hope you're feeling okay today.
