Yes I have had the tests at National Jewish Health and the sweat test was fine. Main finding was the small hiatal hernia and MAI.
Medicine has advanced to what it is today and in reality it is wonderful what they can do and help us with....however as we know they don't have all the answers and we don't have them either. Would love to know the why but may never have the answer.
I believe I produce much more sputum than what you have mentioned. I haven't measured it and probably should.

Did your increase in sputum start after you started your program of airway clearance? Do you feel it is from the saline? I have told my 2 doctors at NJH and they are not suggesting it is from airway clearance but something they do not have the answer to. But it is so related so how can it not be the cause? I am going to cut back and see what happens if I do that. It is hard to do though mentally and physically but I am going to do an experiment and see if I can get this excessive phlegm to stop.
