I don't post much but am so thankful for this forum also. Check it daily.I have an appointment with my pulmonologist in two weeks. Will have a CT scan and then see him. Anxious for the results and going to ask him about switching to 7% saline. Am presently using 3%. Have a percussion vest and nebulizer and use them twice daily. Have not been on meds. I have lymphocytic colitis and have been pretty stable without medication so trying to hold off as much as possible. Was also interested to find on this forum about relationship between the gut and the lungs. This is a wonderful find for information for all of us.

@migizii I was surprised to read your post and learn we have two similar diagnoses...Bronchiectasis and lymphocytic colitis. Also, I nebulize and use a vest twice daily and have not had to go on theBig 3, as they are referred to here.....I have done one round of short term antibiotics a couple years ago. I have always been on the 7% saline solution (since being diagnosed in 2017) at Mayo, although the pulmonologist there said previous scans from my local clinic displayed the disease at least 2years before this.....but no one knew what to look for. I eat a gluten free diet and try to eat well most of the time as I believe there may be a gut-body connection, too. Good luck at your appointment and I hope things go well.
