Scientists develop tools to unravel gut problems in cystic fibrosis

This study aims to create new methods to measure how well the gut digests and absorbs fats, proteins, and sugars in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Poor digestion is a major cause of malnutrition in CF, leading to muscle weakness and worse health. The researchers will test these methods in 30 adults and children with CF and healthy volunteers to better understand gut function and improve nutritional care.
