One of my daughters best buddies was diagnosed in April with CF at the age of 7 (later than typical as he showed only digestive symptoms) Salty tears are a hallmark symptom but that said cf is very very rare. (30,000) cases in US. There are many many genetic variations of the disease and many are mild. For your own peace of mind I would have him tested. My daughters friend takes special enzyme pills when he eats that have allowed him to finally gain some weight. He looks and feels better since being diagnosed and early management can really improve a child's energy as they absorb food better with these enzymes. Some with cf suffer primarily digestive issues not lung issues which is probably what you have heard more about. I hope all of this information is unneeded. Good luck and best wishes.
