Elemental Diet for Chronic Pancreatitis Symptoms

This study is testing a special liquid diet called a Palatable Elemental Diet for adults with chronic pancreatitis (a long-term inflammation of the pancreas) and bothersome stomach and gut symptoms. This diet is made of ingredients that are easy for your body to absorb. Researchers want to see if people can stick to this diet for 14 days as their only food and drink, and if they can consume most of the calories prescribed. You might be able to join if you are 18-75 years old, have chronic pancreatitis, and experience significant gastrointestinal symptoms. The study is currently recruiting about 15 participants.
