Hi there, I wanted to know about the possible implications of the Cystic Fibrosis variant gene (of which I knew nothing until receiving 23 & Me results). I believe I only have one variant gene.
As for my general history, I had been viewing my chronic health issues from the lense of lyme or bartonella. I struggled with infections and toxins that don’t bother others (ie. bartonella), but I don't have a particular history of lung problems or atypical mucus. I do have ongoing malabsorption problems and fatigue. And I do have a nasal polyp that was found in an MRI, but no sinus problems.
I’m wondering how this gene may factor into my digestive or detox issues. I will do my best to get this addressed with doctors of course.
This was very disappointing news, but I hope I can turn it around to find new, helpful treatment ideas.
Thanks so much!
