What is Cystic Fibrosis? Cystic Fibrosis is a hereditary disease that can only be passed on from parent to child. It affects the lungs, intestines, pancreas, and liver. It changes mucus from its normal slippery and thin state, to a thick and sticky state. This changes how the body functions work (lungs are under more stress etc.).

Four Main Symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis?
 * 1) Salty tasting skin
 * 2) Coughing, wheezing, or frequent lung infections (pneumonia)
 * 3) Loose, bad smelling body waste (solid)
 * 4) Weight gain is extremely slow, even when you are eating a lot
