Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria (CP):

- Chronic pancreatitis diagnosis by gastroenterologist. Participants with CP will be
characterized based on the TIGAR-O (toxic, genetic, autoimmune, recurrent,
obstructive) etiology system, on pancreatic morphology (Cambridge criteria) when
available, and on physiological state (exocrine and endocrine function) as recommended
by the recent American Pancreatic Association Practice Guidelines4.

- Age 30-70 years old

- Evidence of at-risk for malabsorption including: 1) history of use of and response to
pancreatic enzyme medication; 2) history of unintentional weight loss; 3) history of
increased stools per week or fatty stools; and/or 4) other clinical signs or symptoms
suggestive of fat malabsorption

- In usual state of health for past two weeks including no change in medications

- Able to consume a moderate fat diet for stool evaluations

- Able to participate in the study for about four weeks with two study visits

Inclusion Criteria (Healthy Volunteers):

- Age 30-70 years old

- No known chronic disease that would affect dietary intake or fat absorption

- In usual state of health for past two weeks, with stable medications, diet and weight

- BMI from 18-29

- Able to consume a moderate fat diet for stool evaluations

- Able to participate in the study for about one week with one study visit

Exclusion Criteria (CP):

- Evidence of normal fat absorption in medical record

- Medications that alter fat absorption (i.e. orlistat, other weight loss medications,
ursodeoxycholic acid)

- Allergy to pork products

- History of intestinal blockage or fibrosing colonopathy

- History of gout, kidney disease, or high blood uric acid (hyperuricemia)

- Pregnancy or breast feeding

Exclusion Criteria (Healthy Volunteers):

- Evidence of fat malabsorption

- Medications that alter fat absorption (i.e. orlistat, other weight loss medications,
ursodeoxycholic acid)

- Pregnancy or breast feeding
