@sueinmn Glad you posted that "BE means Barium Enema, not Bronchiectasis" That was my fault. I thought I read somewhere that BE did stand for Bronchiectasis.
Since your first suggestion about acronyms I am conscious of it but probably have slipped a few times and not spelled it out. Now I know, what the BE acronym really means, thanks.

@blm1007blm1007 like you , I’ve been confused with it all. I learned I had Bronchiectasis not too long before starting Brinsupri . On anything where there is involvement from Insmed, makers of Brinsupri , bronchiectasis IS called BE. Look at their website. I think “BE” is even mentioned in some of their commercials.
In fact , World Bronchiectasis Day , “BE the light”, appears tied to this acronym .
