First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a specially designed, better-tasting liquid diet can be used for two weeks by adults with chronic pancreatitis who have bothersome stomach symptoms. The diet is an easy-to-absorb formula that replaces all food for 14 days. Researchers want to see if people can stick with it and find it acceptable.
