    Thank you so much for this question. I am on both. PF and autoimmune. I have been having issues with diarrhea and constipation back to back. Don’t like to use imodium but find I have too. Then I worry about constipation (use dulcolax) and the cycle repeats itself.

    Thank you also Charlene for replying. Now that I learning my way around here I am finding a wealth of information.  It is good to be informed because my pulmonary has mentioned that he does not know much about this disease.  Thank you for the link, I will check it out.

    Hey Jim, before I was diagnosed I had that horrible cough and was put on Tessalon Pearls also. Didn’t help me at all. Now that I have been diagnosed and on oxygen that has really cut down on the cough. I know sometimes it had to drive my hubby nuts.

    Thank you Mark for you reply to CRP.  I will try to find the book you mentioned on foods. That is something one can hopefully control.

    • . Hi Steve, this is not about coughing although I do have some. Just joined here and just diagnosed with PF. Trying to read anything I can find and have been blessed by this forum. My question is I have seen several abbreviations that I am not familiar with like EGCG. Can you please tell me what that means?

    Thank you

    Diane

    1. I am very new to this disease  and in these posts I have seen CRP. What does this mean, please.

    On the POC, how do you have them serviced? Say the Inogen.  I need to take 2 portables to Drs appts or else the cumbersome tank on wheels.
