Summary
This study aims to create better methods to measure how 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 lung problems. Researchers will test these methods in 30 participants, including children and adults with CF and healthy volunteers, to improve nutritional care and enzyme therapy.
