Feasibility of a Novel Oral Palatable Elemental Diet for Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Chronic Pancreatitis

๐ŸŸก Not Yet Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Stanford University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a 2-week exclusive palatable elemental diet is feasible, tolerable, and acceptable for adults with chronic pancreatitis and bothersome gastrointestinal symptoms. An elemental diet is a nutritionally complete formula made from ingredients that are easy to absorb. The main questions it aims to answer are whether participants can complete the diet as planned, and whether they can take in most of the prescribed formula, and how acceptable the study diet is to participants at the end of the 2-week diet period.
