Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-shortening genetic condition among Caucasians in the United States. Individuals with CF have an altered gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota, which may be a result of chronic systemic inflammation and infection, frequent use of antibiotics, and/or medically prescribed and habitual high-fat/high-calorie diets. The study will assess if administration of high-dose vitamin D and a commonly used prebiotic (inulin) is effective to reduce gastrointestinal dysbiosis and to improve critical intestinal functions in Cystic Fibrosis.
