I know bronchiectasis may cause MAC, but my bronchiectasis is mild, only limited to MAC area. I also got a variant for CF, but that is not a significant variant. Chloride Sweat test is the gold standard , which I also got negative. So i think low BMI is a very important cause.

There can be many causes to Bronchiectasis. My weight was fine when I got it. Repeated pulmonary infections or one that goes untreated for too long, GI issues are linked to Bronchiectasis such as IBD, immune issues, etc. No doubt genetics as well could make one prone to it.
