Interventions

  • Palatable Elemental Diet — OTHER
    The intervention is an exclusive oral palatable elemental diet administered for 14 consecutive days as the participant's sole nutritional intake. This amino acid-based formula was developed to provide an elemental diet with improved palatability and tolerability. Following completion of the 14-day diet period, participants will return to their usual diet and undergo 4 additional weeks of follow-up.

Study Details

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.
