Abstract
Gastric emptying of a meal of pasteurized human milk or infant formula was studied in 4 infants aged 5 wk to 4 mo. with cystic fibrosis (CF) and pancreatic insufficiency. A marker dilution technique was used. Three of the patients showed gastric emptying rates higher than those of controls during the 1st h after receiving the meal. The gastric emptying rate of the remaining patients, both after a meal of human milk and of infants formula, was similar to that of the controls.
