This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is trying to understand how common acid reflux (when stomach acid backs up into the throat) is in children with cystic fibrosis, and what happens to their symptoms when they temporarily stop taking acid reflux medication. Researchers will ask you to fill out a short questionnaire about your symptoms at the start, and some participants will do this again after 12 weeks of pausing their medication.
Many children with cystic fibrosis take medication for acid reflux, but doctors aren't sure exactly how many kids actually need it or what happens if they stop taking it. This study will help answer those questions so doctors can make better treatment decisions.

You will complete a questionnaire about your acid reflux symptoms at the beginning of the study. If you're in the group testing medication changes, you'll stop taking your acid reflux medication for 12 weeks, then complete the same questionnaire again to see how your symptoms changed. The whole study takes about 3 months, and most of it involves filling out a simple symptom survey.
