I would get the Sweat Test done. It is a very easy, non-invasive test for CF. We had it done 2x's on our little guy who was not gaining, had lots of mucus, but no salty taste. You will most likely have it done twice because it is a very easy test to "screw up". The will put little "electrode" things on his arms and then wrap the arms in guaze and plastic wrap for about 45 mintues. Its really an easy test
