Exclusion Criteria:

- currently taking CFTR modulator drug

- Contra-indication to use of Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor

- Measurement of FEV1 <40% predicted using Global Lung Initiative criteria, according to
clinical records, as participants will be required to perform a series of 10 second
breathholds throughout MRI scanning

- Contra-indication to MRI scanning, such as embedded metal, pacemaker.

- Pregnancy

- Unable to stop medications directly prescribed to alter bowel habit, such as laxatives
or anti-diarrhoeals, on the study day
