Abstract
Conclusion-Measurements of breath (CO2)-C-13 do not consistently reflect the gastrointestinal handling of emulsified C-13 labelled tripalmitin because of differences in digestion and absorption in cystic fibrosis. Further studies need to examine whether "breath tests" alone can predict with confidence the gastrointestinal handling of other C-13 labelled triglycerides and fatty acids.
